Joshua and I traveled to Houston for a weekend (November 9-10) to celebrate my sister, Alicia's, 30th birthday. Peter went to Nashville with his parents to see his brother, Phillip, in a play that he was performing in. So, it was the perfect opportunity to spend time with our families. We had a great time hanging out around the house and then went to the Aquarium restaurant in downtown Houston for her birthday dinner. I think Joshua enjoyed it more than Alicia because he got to see all of the "fishies" in the huge tanks. If you ever have the opportunity to go to this restaurant, you need to! Right outside of the restaurant there is a small train, ferris wheel and carousel. Lots of fun stuff to do!
Here we are at the entrance of the restaurant, looking up at the several-story high cylindrical tank.
This tank is on the main dining level and holds 500,000 gallons of water and 200 species of aquatic life.
My mom, dad, Joshua, Alicia and me!
Joshua didn't mind helping Alicia finish off her birthday sundae!
Joshua and his grandpa rode the carousel together...
...then we got to go on a carriage ride around downtown. Henry was our horse, but Joshua was much more interested in the dog in the front seat of the carriage.
Joshua made himself comfortable on Alicia's birthday gift, a new KitchenAid mixer. He is definitely a climber these days!
...and just a cute picture of my boy!
