Back in March, we spent a Sunday afternoon downtown. We started the day off at Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues. Packed with beautiful Gospel music and a scrumptious southern-style brunch, we had a great time and will definitely attend again. After brunch, we headed over to the Downtown Aquarium where we acted like kids and rode the Ferris Wheel, had a caricature drawn and toured the aquarium. The Houston Downtown Aquarium is beautiful with gorgeous views of the city - making it a hopping tourist spot!
For Ryan's birthday, I surprised him with tickets to the USA Rugby game. For those of you who don't know, Ryan played Rugby in high school and is passionate for the sport. I was excited to see on the news that USA would be playing Ireland in Houston the week after his birthday. Since it was the first weekend in June, we were both nervous about the heat, but the humidity was low and it turned out to be a beautiful evening! I knew little to nothing about the sport before going to the game, and was amazed at the level of athleticism these players have. Going to the game reminded Ryan how much he misses the sport, so he may even be joining the Houston Rugby Club later this summer.
Summer in Houston means lots of sunshine, but hot, HUMID temperatures. Basically any time spent outside must be in water or you'll sweat to death. We couldn't be more thankful to have a pool at our complex. Honestly, I don't know how anyone down here survives without one. The Clayton's have spent many weekend afternoons (at least one day every weekend since May....) lounging at the pool. Here's where we've been spending our weekends:
The humidity was down this week, so we took the pups to the park. Marley does NOT swim, but she was hot enough to venture out into the water.
We have our first visitors (mi familia!) arriving in about a month. We're excited to take some time off work, show them around Houston and relax at the beach!
Much Love,
