Houston Trip 2011

WARNING: these pictures are not really in order…it’s about to throw this OCD girl into a tailspin…but I’m just going to post and stop looking at it!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s always fun to go to Houston with my family.  We started this before a couple of years before Trigger was born.  It started out as a surprise for Daddy on his 50th birthday.  We have all attempted to go each year…they only year we didn’t go was the year Trigger was born but nobody ended up going because a hurricane came through and so the trip was cancelled.  My dad has season ticket so they go to Houston ALL the time.  They always stay at The Inn at the Ballpark.  It’s right across from the stadium.  My parents are good friends with the hotel manager (chris z), the chef (oscar), and the café manager (chris b).  They always so kind to us when we all go.  When we arrived, this sign was out by the front door.

Will, Karen, Abby, Sydney, Lance, Trigger, Chelse, Deanna, Me, Campbell, Matt, Vanna, Daddy, Reid, Seth, and LizHouston Hood Trip 2011 022
