We went to Houston to celebrate Father's Day and Mimi and Dziadek's anniversary. Tom flew in early for business so Claudia, the kids, Brock and I all packed up in the new Suburban and headed down on Friday after work!
We drove straight to Gena and Dan's new house and it's just beautiful and is close enough to Mimi and Dzidek's house.
On Saturday, we headed to Mimi and Dziadek's for some swimming!
Swing, batter, swing!
Gena really worked hard to plan a nice weekend for Mimi and Dziadek. We all pitched in to get a limo and the destination(s) were a surpise . . .
The limo was . . . a bit warmish. It was mid June but this ride was not cooling down at all. It made for a very intense road trip.
After a bit of us complaining, they had another limo meet us at one of our destinations which was, I believe, Mimi's mother's house.
Gotta move to the other limo. . .
Ahh, white - maybe that will help . . .
Well, it didn't and tempers were flaring at this point. Even the limo driver was getting stressed. He slammed on his breaks at one point and we all flew forward. I was drinking a Firefly Vodka lemonade and most of it landed on Mimi and in Dan's crotch. He was actually pleased because it cooled him down. I'm so glad to help . . .
After that incident, we opted for our own travel. We picked the 'Burb complete with comfortable seats and most importantly air conditioning!
Gena read from her script as Dan drove us from place to place. All of the destinations were places in Mimi and Dziadek's life - Rice University (where they met), Mimi's mother's house, their first home (where Tommy was born), and the final destination was the Petroleum Club for dinner.
Brian had had enough after the limo fiasco so Brian and Jessica met us at the Petroleum club for dinner!
It was a wonderful and very memorable day. We even discussed that there was probably a lot more wars and murders before air conditioning was invented.
Thank you, Gena, for making the day very special for your mom and dad. :)

Hi! Just saw on your MIT email that you have a blog so I had to pop over to check in on you guys! Gabe still talks about Madelyn all the time and I am so excited you joined MIT! I was praying when I left that God will fill that seat! Hope you are all well and back in the swing of the new school year! Take care!
