Memorial Day Weekend!

Happy Memorial Day!!! 
*Thanks to those who have served, died serving, are serving, and will serve*

For the weekend, my sibs and cousin from West Virginia decided to visit our cousin in Houston, Texas.
I arrived on Friday afternoon after my flight was delayed for 2hours at O'Hare Int'l airport. That threw us off our planned boat cruise. We later on rented a pontoon boat and cruised the Galveston waters. 
With the host, James (cousin)

On Saturday, we went indoor go-karting and had a night out afterwards. I visited the infamous Zanzibar club; it was a fun experience, reminded me of the Shrine parties they have in Chicago with DJ DeeMoney. 



Sunday was a pretty chilled day. We hung out by the pool side, for hours then went to visit an uncle at his new home here in Houston. 
After club/bar hoping, we ended our night at Prospect Park. 

We didn't really eat out, so I can't comment on my dining experience, except for "Finger Licking" which is rumored to be the best Nigerian restaurant out here, and I must say, I was quite disappointed with their Fried Rice fix. Smh, the irony! I also tried out a Mexican spot called Chachos...they've got great food.

Today we've pretty much been lazying around and watching movies. It doesn't look like they're much into parks and day parties on Memorial Day as opposed to Chicago.
I think we'll head out to Monnalisa later tonight.

It's been a relaxing vacation so far!

Trip to Htown

First day of spring break. How's that going??
Over the weekend, some members of my family and I took a road trip to Texas for a cousin's traditional marriage. It was a beautiful experience in that it was my first attendance and I also got to meet a lot of family members from my dad's end. Not to forget that I ate a lot. A LOT!

The trip took approx. 13hrs...and after driving for 7, we spent the night in Arkansas (Texarkana). The beauty in road trips is that you get to pass by different parts of the country.

We spent only two days in Houston, so there wasn't enough time to tour the city, but I got to visit the Galleria--a very, very big mall in which I got lost in!

I hope you all have a safe spring break!
