Houston Gets a Bad Rap

Ok, I know I was born and raised there...so I am biased. But despite the horrid humidity, awful traffic, and horrid humidity, I truly believe Houston is amazing.

I am trying to plan things for Michael and I to do while at home and there are too many things to choose from. I found this website for just one day:

ONE DAY. Not to mention all the things I found at the very close and local library (that are free), children's museum, and zoo.

It makes me miss home to see all these great things for kids to do! And while there are definitely things for kids to do here, they are not really as cool, new, or neat. I am so excited to be moving home at the end of the year, even if it is DELAWARE. I am willing to drive to D.C. or Boston to do the cool things. I am just excited for all the exciting things we are going to be able to do in the good ole USA!

It is a great age for me to be going home with Michael! We can start going to exhibits on how things work, see planetariums, and all that fun geeky stuff. I can't wait! Although...some may argue it is an awful time to go home because well, there goes the chance to be really bilingual in French. I am happy for him to be bilingual in Vietnamese and English. Those 2 are his heritage after all. French can come later. He should have the built in ear for it!

Brian has already started feeling that our time here has passed. He is saddened by this! And while I loved our time in Paris, I truly cherish the times we have had AWAY from Paris even more. See, that's the truth about living in Paris. You LIVE for the times you can escape it. All the relaxing vacations in the countryside...all the exotic destinations away. Even Parisians don't care too much for living here and enjoy their rightfully earned vacations!

Anyways, I am so excited to be going home for our visit/vacation and for good. I am done.

Love,
P
