On Monday, Jackie had to work, but Brad, the hubby, my brother, and I went and had lunch at Panda Express! I love that place, but glad I can't eat it very often. So very unhealthy!
Then my brother and I took off and headed to the Container Store. If you are a closet OCD and love organization then this is the store for you! I LOVE the place! If I had a house and not a stinky apartment, my entire house would be done with things from the container store!
We then hit up Central Market. I really wish we had a place like this near us. I loved looking at all the organic, healthy foods! I bought a Twisted Fruit (yes I know they are for kids, but it looked so tasty!), some Almond milk, and finally found the Vita Coconut water I have been wanting to try!
I got the one with Pineapple to try! Unfortunately... I left it all at my brothers in Dallas. He will be coming home in a few weeks and will bringing it with him, so I will tell you what I think of it at a later date. :)
The hubby and I have been wanting to try to make our own sushi so we bought this as well! Now we are ready to get started!
I'm sure I have not stated before, but I am a total Mac girl! I have an iPhone (where most of my pics come from), and a MacBook for my blogging! :) So when my brother said he wanted to go to the Mac store, I said Let's Go!
I decided to take a pic of my blog on an iPad! I would love to have one, but maybe in a few years. I am just enjoying my MacBook right now! :)
Tuesday was our last day. We woke up, packed everything up, and headed to meet my brother for lunch before we left.
The 3 of us met up with my cousin and her hubby at a cute little place called La Madeleine.
This was the letter given to us for our food.
That is the perfect letter for us, because our last name starts with W!
I got the half Chicken Parisien, cup of french onion soup, and the pasta salad. It was delicious! And I once again, ate it to fast before I took pictures :)
After lunch, we went to a place called Fat Straws.
It's a place that sells Bubble Tea.
If you look closely you can see the dark "bubbles" in the bottom. There are actually Tapioca bubbles. Reminds me of a gummy bear. Very chewy. This is why you use the Fat Straws! You have to suck up the Tapioca bubbles! I got the Thai Tea Milkshake with bubbles! (one on the right). The hubby just got the Thai Tea. I tasted it, but I like the milkshake better, of course! :)
I highly recommend the place!
Afterwards, we headed out for our long 6 hour trip home. It was 4pm by this time, but we surprisingly didn't hit any traffic. It usually does not take us 6 hours, but when you have 2 puppies in the car, you have to stop and let them go to the potty every so often. :)
It was a great trip! Brad and Jackie are great hosts! And it was great to see my brother, and my cousin! :) Can't wait to go visit again! :)
Fat Straws sounds pretty funky!!
ReplyDeleteThat fat straws place sounds really interesting! Never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteAnd I so would love an Ipad. It would make getting work done easier since I stay at home with the baby girl. I could sit with her eve more, but still be able to work.
That Vita coconut water sounds quite interesting. I'll have to look around and see if I can find it around here. Your trip looks like it was a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so crazy, your title picture looks almost identical to mine.
