Day Two

We slept in until about 8:30/8:45, got ready to leave, and headed to the car (or so Jeremy thought). We actually detoured to the 2nd floor where two massage therapists were waiting for us. I had arranged for us to get deep tissue massages. Ahhh, relaxing. If I can just find the time, I'm going to go back to school to become a massage therapist. I think I will have to quit my job in order to do it, though.

After our relaxing hour, we headed back to the room to clean up. Then, we headed downtown to the Bayou City Art Festival. I love going to the Bayou City Art Festival and the weather was perfect for it (perfect = below 90 degrees and not raining).

I purchased these three fabulous pieces a couple of years ago and was hoping to find the same artist this year...but he was not there.

I did, however, find and purchase this lovely necklace.

We walked around for a couple of hours and then headed to the movie theatre to see Bourne Ultimatum, finally. I don't go to the movies very often and now I remember why. It is so EXPENSIVE. Good grief. And in Houston, you pay for parking everywhere. To go to the doctor, to the movies, to the museum, etc. Parking is not free anywhere. I'd rather rent a movie and watch it at home. If only our tv was working...

After the movie, we went back to the hotel to change and then headed over to Grotto for dinner. Good italian food. We shared pan seared mozzarella for an appetizer. I had Lasagne al Forno and Jeremy had something other than lasagna... (I remember it was pasta with chicken and peas and some other stuff). I just looked at the menu - it was called Pappardelle alla Campagnola. Clear as mud? We shared dessert and tried to walk off dinner on our way back to the hotel. :P

Sunday morning, we got up early to gather our things and check out of the hotel. Our weekend came to a close all too quickly.
