Besides the miscommunication and the hour delay in picking them up in the middle of the night on Wednesday (not Thursday!) they finally made it to our house! Thursday we went to the Iguana Grill and had a nice lunch overlooking the lake. Jordan was able to meet us from work which was great. That night we took them to Rudy's... btw everything we did was surrounded by food! Hey we had to show them a good time with all of the fun places we have to eat around here!
Friday came along and we had some Freebirds for lunch (thanks to Jerome riding Jordan's bike in the heat when he didn't have to...another story for another day...). After lunch and Drake's nap we went down to the Domain and us girls checked out Charming Charlie's...love that store. Jerome checked out Dick's which was just as great in a boys mind right?...can you tell Jerome was a good sport?
That night we got a sitter for Drake and went to Chuy's for some chips, salsa and queso. We didn't have time to eat because we needed to be downtown and with the crazy Chuy's crowd that was not happening! So cool story... Chuy's has a little waiting room while you wait for your table. You can sit and eat chips and salsa while you wait. Again it was packed. So Jerome and Jordan are scoping out seats for us to sit and this nicest couple told Jordan that they were going to be called next if we wanted their table. So Brittni and I sit down on the extra seats and we started talking to them for a couple of minutes telling them that Britt and Jerome were visiting from out of town and what we had done so far and they told us that we had to get the Chuy's ooey gooey dip (I think that is what it was called) that isn't on the menu anymore. Anyways we were like ok that sounds great, but probably not going to order it. Their buzzer went off, said our goodbyes and off they went to eat. So we are chowing down on chips, salsa & queso and 10 mins later the guy we were talking to comes a brings us the ooey gooey dip! He said his wife told him that we had to try it, especially since we had Britt and Jerome visiting. So nice. Gotta love the southern hospitality of Texas!
Previously on our way to the Domain, remember to go shopping, we stopped to get gas and Britt went in to get a drink and she comes out with some scratch off lottery cards. They won $56 off of them! We all couldn't believe it! So this picture is downtown in front of the Texas Lottery.
Downtown we went to Esthers Follies which is a comedy club. So funny, but what was even funnier was that Jerome got picked out of the audience in one of the sketches. What is even more funny is that we had been joking with him the whole way down that we had to get a good seat just in case Jerome was to be picked, which Jerome was not to fond of. We totally thought our seats were safe so when the guy came down to get Jerome we all about died!! Again Jerome was a great sport!
Saturday we headed down to New Braufels and had fun at Schlitterbahn all day. For those that don't know what Schlitterbahn is...it is the largest water park in the nation and is all plumbed by the Comel River, which means that it is all natural water and that it is FREEZING water! Especially on a day that was totally overcast and the high was 87 degrees. Needless to say we still had a blast but it was chilly!
Sunday unfortunately the fun came to an end and Brittni and Jerome left back to Vegas. We had such a great time with them! Britt and I hadn't hung out like that since high school so it was so fun! Can't wait until next time!
