Summer is in full swing around here. Lots going on and we have been away. We took a trip to Houston, Texas this past week. My husbands mother had her surgery and chemo and we decided to go and make sure she was doing ok. I'm so excited to report that she is doing good and getting better every day. The surgery went well and lasted 10 hours. The chemo was a 90 min. wash.
She still has a long way to go though....but hopefully she will be able to go home in a few weeks.
Every morning before we headed out to the Hospital the kids enjoyed eating their TEXAS shaped waffle! I enjoyed them too.... HA!
MD Anderson was the biggest hospital i have ever seen. The hubs said it was like a cruise ship. And indeed it was. But the most important thing is that the doctors and staff there are the nicest people i have ever met in a hospital. They take VERY good care of the patients there. And we left knowing that she was being taken very well care of.
It was our first time to Houston. It was a big city! Lots of things to do and see. Our days was spent at the hospital but one afternoon we took the kids to the Children's Museum. The had an absolute BLAST!
She's an EMT......
She's a VET........Little man decided he wanted to be a vet. too......
There was so much for them to do they couldn't get to everything quick enough. We were exhausted!
I had a hard time getting out of bed....BEST hotel bed EVER!
We winded down all the streets of the French Quarter. Some were still damaged from the Hurricane but this one still looked nice. Isn't it the cutest? It is for sale......
St. Louis Cathedral.
Absolutely Stunning inside!
Yummy......
Oh this store was the sweetest little shop! They had a doll house that was every girls dream!
These fellas could take you anywhere you wanted to go.....
There were Night Tours of the Cemeteries. They had Ghost and Vampire Tours. I looked around during the day thanks.......
Is it weird to say that they were kinda beautiful? Very different than what you see around here. I found one family Tomb that started in 1828 and the last one to enter was in 2008. Alot were so old that the writing was gone.

On our way back home we stopped in New Orleans, Louisiana. We went for the history ....not the night life. We stayed here.....

Now onto the dreaded "After Trip" laundry.........yuck!
