I know summer doesn't officially start for a few more days, but I am in Texas and it is felt like summer since March. Things are off to a rolling start,(caution...picture overload ahead!). ..
For Memorial Day weekend we went to Little Rock for their annual concert festival. We had a great time seeing good friends and good tunes!
While there we stayed at the Peabody Hotel. If anyone is going to that area I highly recommend it...plus I enjoyed seeing the ducks swimming around in their fountain in the lobby.
Barkley had his first trip to the airport to pick up our friends. I was a little afraid that he may bite someone so I dressed him up cute. Who can get mad at Spiderman for nipping at them? Thankfully he did not play the role of Kujo while there.
We had a celebratory outing for work at Main Event, which is like Dave and Buster's for those who do not have one in the area. So much fun to step away from the daily duties to enjoy the company of my friends and coworkers.
My girls! Had a great time having them all with me here in Houston for yet another concert! My hearing will never be the same...but it sure was fun!!
How have all my bloggy friends been?
I hope the weather is treating you well and those of you up north are finally thawing out!
On a side note "Have You Seen This Etsy Shop?" will return in July! Things have been so hectic that I didn't feel like I could give the feature my full attention. Rest assured though it will be back to showcase handmade goodies from amazing crafters!
My family from Tennessee came down for a visit. We had a great time, even if outdoor activities during Texas summers feel like the they are taking place in a sauna.
My cousins were jumping for joy to see me! LOL!
Brookelyn has become a mini me...shopaholics unite! So sorry to her dad for that! Must blame the genetics.
We didn't see a show this time, but I love seeing the lights on Broadway and the posters advertising the musicals.
The Savage Beauty exhibit at the Met which was done in honor of Alexander McQueen was exceptional. I was so exited to be able to make it to the city in time to see the collection.
It is always awesome to see a familiar face in a different city! Once again the lovely Dorkys, from Dry As Toast, was a gracious host! This time we were able to meet her boyfriend Andrew who was a more knowledgeable tour guide than some of the people working for the double-decker buses! We spent the afternoon eating an assortment of yummy treats, but thankfully we walked most of those calories off. And if not those gelato pops and candies were worth it!
The Empire State Building was patriotic for the 4Th of July.
We took in the NBC tour one morning. While seeing the set of Saturday Night Live was interesting, I must say it was pretty uneventful. The only studio tour I have ever found to be worth the price was the Warner Brothers one out in LA for anyone planning a trip out there.
I finally got to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge!!!!! I have always wanted to, but never got around to it until this trip. Here we are with Mark, our friend from the city, who we have since adopted as our lil brother. 
Sometimes Mondays can be a bit overwhelming! I am trying to get back into the swing of things after a nasty bout of allergies. Come to find out my nose and throat do much better in the desert than the humid south!
