Surfside Beach

Took a short trip to Houston and Surfside Beach. 

First stop. Houston. Boyfriend attends tennis conference. A must so he can write off part of the trip. We have a hard time finding the Downtown Met Racquet Club. We finally stop to ask directions...Go over the skybridge, through the double doors, go further down and through the next set of double doors, follow the yellow path to the garage, go to elevators, go to the 6th floor. Well, voila, there is a beautiful indoor tennis and basketball facility with restaurant and pro shop. Who'd a thunk it?

So while he's in class, I go shopping. I pick up FOUR....I mean four sweaters at Macy's for less than $100. Awesome. Then, I do a Yelp search and find a hair salon with good ratings. I get a haircut for $15. This lady washed my hair twice, conditioned it, dried it and styled it. Awesome. I was going to get a foot massage, but boyfriend only did a short session the 2nd day, so we could go to the beach early.



We went to the Houston Aquarium for dinner and it was really good food and not overly expensive. We even rode rides. We rode a train that went in a tunnel where sharks are swimming. That was awesome, but the flash on the camera made for lousy pics.

So Surfside Beach... I have wanted to check it out for a long time. The water is a nice Texas brown, but the beach is nice. They even allow you to drive on the beach and have fires.  Nice. The hotel was awesome and in walking distance to restaurants. It is the most laid back town I have ever visited. Everyone there is super nice and so friendly. Hmmmmm. Much unlike the Frisco hood where I live. I mean there are a few nice people....a few. They are the ones NOT in their cars. :)
