Travelling Fools

So we just got back from Houston. We drove there Monday night, brought Trav's brother to the airport for a 6 am flight, went to sleep, hung out in Houston all day, went to sleep, woke up at 12:45 am today to pick up his bro at the airport at 1:35 am, went to sleep, drove back to Lake Charles. We hit three different bouts of construction traffic on the way back and a 2.5 hour trip took us 4.5. Horrendous.

While in Houston we were able to do some shopping. We visited REI again, which is the most super outdoors store. We got a knife sharpener, another flashlight/lantern, sunglasses and a sneaky money pouch for hiding valuable things around my waist under my pants. We had Thai food for lunch, which is nice b/c Lake Charles does not have any Thai restaurants. We also visited a store called Kohl's (we don't have one of those either) which is a department store basically and there I used a gift card I've had since November to buy an outfit for the swearing-in ceremony. It was only $8!

We also sold some of Travis' CDs for a whopping $60 credit at Wherehouse music and acquired the new Coldplay album, among others. And, coincidentally, Coldplay is coming on VH1 Storytellers right now so I am signing off to go watch. Bon soir.
