After New Orleans we finally made it to Texas! First stop was Houston; the city with the most intricate, confusing, unnecessarily high highway system I have ever seen.
 |
| Our first encounter with Houston. |
 |
| Catching up with an old roommate and her wonderful family. |
We stayed only briefly in Houston before heading to San Antonio to see the Alamo. My younger brother, Sean, and his family live in College Station (about 3 hours from San Antonio), so they came to meet us so we could all play together. AND my mom, from California was visiting my brother in College Station at the time, so we got to see her too. It was a wonderful treat! Grandma and cousins!
After two days in San Antonio we all went to visit a family friend who lives in Comfort, TX, about an hour outside San Antonio. There we got to hang out with my family some more, do an Easter egg hunt, catch up with a childhood friend (unexpectedly), and fire some real guns for the first time in my life. (Real as in: not a squirt or nerf gun.)

| Fiona was my neighbor when we were kids (5-12 years old). When I posted a photo of myself shooting a gun, in "Comfort, TX" onto facebook she wrote and said she lived in a neighboring town. She drove 20 minutes Easter morning to see me. It was so much fun to catch up. |
Here's an unedited (meaning: a tad too long) video of me firing a shotgun for the first time (and my reaction).
More Texas to come...
