A perfect Sunday

Now that we were in full speed ahead with our move but we decided to take a day out to visit the Texas state flower, the bluebonnet.   We'd meant to visit the fields and never ending fields of the  bluebonnets last year before they all were gone, but we seemed to miss the boat on that one...hmmm, must have been too busy with things!? so, this year, we made it our mission to do just that.  This particular Sunday just so happened to be the very last Sunday we'd have in our house just the two of us before we had our families come to visit and then the dreaded movers arrived.   We woke up early and went to a really pretty Palm Sunday service at our church and afterwards we headed for some coffee and off to

Chapel Hill, Texas, about an hour from Houston to check out the bluebonnets!

What a beautiful drive

 A baby field....but we had our new car with our Alaska plates and everyone stopped to ask us how the drive from Alaska went!  They thought we came all the way from Alaska to check out the bluebonnets.

A mistaken shot that ended up being really cute

 Beautiful blooming flowers everywhere, perfectly blue skies and green, green grass = perfect!

Gorgeous horses along the way

 Check out that coat!

 Fields and fields of bluebonnets!

Well hello there!

 More!

My one and only

After we'd driven through all the back roads, we happened upon the Texas famous Blue Bell Creameries!  We were so excited to visit, but unfortunately, they were closed, bummer!

After a lovely late morning we arrived back in Houston by 2pm just in time for a bike ride along the bayou and a beer a one of our favorite spots to soak in as much of Houston as we could. 

 The coming weeks we knew were going to be taxing with the packers and the excitement and sadness of yet another move so we did our very best to relax and enjoy a city we've come to love in the past year.  Houston, we will miss you, but we know our love affair is just beginning.
