tuscaloosa comes to houston

labor day weekend was not only the first weekend of college football, but it also brought our great friends adam & coriell from tuscaloosa! when lee & adam get together, they are like two little kids on the playground...so excited to see each other and running off to play together until it is time to go home, or in their case, time to go back to tuscaloosa. the best part about their visit was that it was a surprise for adam who did not find out about the trip until lee called him as they were on their way to the airport!

we kicked off the weekend with dinner at pappasito's (of course!) followed by a trip to college station for a little midnight yell. we followed lee's lead and did some swaying and some yelling for the aggies even though we were a little unsure about it all at times.

saturday the boys went back to college station for the a & m game, and coriell and i explored the galleria. i think we were starting to get delirious from hunger and thirst (and sleep deprivation from the night before, i.e. midnight yell) by the time we found the everything-is-bigger-in texas store and a certain orange foam hat. all coriell wanted was a houston ornament but it somehow turned into the pictures you see below. we paid a visit to the water wall and made it back to watch the bama game (roll tide). thank you espn/abc for nationally-televised games, thank you kroger for selling the chips and salsa that became our gametime snack, and thank you to the garretts for giving lee & adam free tickets to the a & m game.

we filled our last full day with brunch at le peep, an astros game, and one more visit to the water wall. adam & coriell were able to experience their first major league baseball game which just so happened to also be a win for the astros.

our last stop before taking them back to the airport monday (boo) was to get our free chicken sandwiches from chick-fil-a of course! we all represented a different team and enjoyed one last meal together in houston before sending them back to tuscaloosa. we can't wait to see you guys again! we had a great time!
