Our trip to Houston....

Jonathans job sent him to Houston TX for the week... the weather staid pretty sucky... so we spent a lot of time in doors... Plus Sky has started having some bad spitting spells. However, given that we had a 5 week old baby and making a 11 hour drive.. he did wonderful. He even adjusted to being in a hotel room good! We were able to go see Jonathans rig and learn more about what he does when he is away from home.,. Not the most exciting vacation... but I enjoyed learning more about it.... =))
Being a good boy on the 11 hour ride... it only took us 12 hours with all the stopping we had to do... but once we got to the Hotel.. he was out!!
5 weeks!

Skys first palm trees! I personally love palm trees! They remind me of home... so I was excited to get this pic... lol


Sky was able to see his first beach (for as much as he would stay up anyway) Galvesting TX. Though I am a Floridian at heart and would rather have taken him home... it was still nice to experience it with him, as much as you can a 5 week old, lol. Next time we will go to Florida where he can play in the sand!!



Due to hurricane season the rig is brought into the ship yard for maintence work. Since we were in Houston so that Jonathan could do schooling for the company, we were able to see the actual rig he works on. It was actually pretty neat because usually the rig is out in the Gulf 100 miles off the coast and other wise we would never see it in oerson..... This is where Jonathan lives ever 3 weeks when he goes out to work.... I dont envy him at all!! (Thats the rig in the backgroud)




Learning about Daddys job... what he does//how he lives when he is away at work for soo long


Taking the ferry to crystal beach... so we can head home.... a looong 12 hour ride.
