Mothers Day In Austin


I went to Austin for Mother's Day, the weather was nice over the weekend. We went over to Mom and Rick's on Saturday night as Rick made some tasty hamburgers on the grill. Mom made all the sides, some good beans, avocado, and chips. Melissa brought a cake for dessert and we all were stuffed.
On Sunday we all met at the Iron Cactus for an all you can eat buffet that everyone seemed to enjoy. You had choices such as omelets or other breakfast items such as pancakes, biscuits and gravy, waffles, bacon. Or you could choose from fajitas, enchiladas, salmon, and other hot dishes. There was also plenty of desserts to choose from as well. All the Mom's opened their gifts and once again we were stuffed.
It wouldn't be right if I forgot to mention the "bottomless" Mimosa's that were a hit at our table. I think Melissa had her fair share and even got one to go....way to go sis. Enjoy the slideshow from our visit to the Iron Cactus.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!!

Houston Rockets Playoff Game

I was in Houston last week and was lucky enough to get a ticket to the playoff game between the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trailblazers. After putting on a racquetball tournament and eating some dinner, I hopped a cab to the Toyota Center for $6 bucks and bought a ticket from someone for $45. Got the playoff shirt for only $15 and had an $8 dollar beer. Another $6 cab ride back home and my first playoff game only cost me $80. Well worth it and it didn't cost me a weeks salary.
I blogged this post directly from my iPhone using the blogger email tool. Kinda cool huh?
