Houston Date Weekend and the Arrival of Mitchell Perry

After weeks of moving and home improvements, the Williams Family needed a break. Ricky and I decided to take a quick weekend trip to Houston for some relaxation time and to meet our newest pseudo-nephew, Mitchell.
We decided to stay at the Intercontinental Houston near the Galleria and the Museum District. Other than the horrific traffic in Houston, it was a great weekend. Little Mitchell slept through our visit but I know he was glad to see us:) We had a great dinner at the Red Lion (I highly recommend the Punjabi Eggrolls) and an even better breakfast at Cocos Crepes and Coffee. Before heading home on Sunday we visited the Houston Museum of Natural History. I was VERY excited to see real-life dinosaur skeletons! There is also an excellent children's chemistry/energy display at the museum that Ricky and I enjoyed more than the kids!

Such a cool periodic table. It had examples of all the elements in those little boxes!
I was in dinosaur heaven. The second picture is me next to a raptor skeleton.
Such a beautiful baby. Mitchell Perry Atkinson. July 31, 2010. 9 lbs 1 ounce.
