Hello my Blogger Family!!
This weekend I spent some time recharging my body. I was crazy busy leading up to the Family Reunion and honestly was moving non-stop while I was there so my body finally said sit still and rest. Since the weekend was uneventful. I thought I would recap my family reunion weekend with you all.
Jacelyn went ahead of Scott and I with my Parents and Grandparents on Wednesday and we flew out on Thursday Morning. This was Scott's first trip to Texas so I think there was a bit of a Culture shock for him. After getting our bags and heading over to the rental car company in Humidity, we were on the road to the hotel.
At the hotel... We learned the story of Pa and Gram... They are the resident Swans that live at the Embassy Suites.
After checking in and feeling the wonderful air conditioning, Scott and I walked over to a restaurant called The Burger Palace for Kobe Beef Burgers and Thick Milk Shakes.... Of course we would find all things foodie on a trip...
After lunch and meeting up with a few people for Happy Hour, my sissy introduced me to Sweets Cupcakes.
The cupcakes there were AWESOME!! I took some back to the hotel to share and they were a HIT.
As if we didn't have enough food for the day, There was dinner at Pappadeauxs.
My husband had his first ever Swamp Thing and I had to finish it for him.... I think it was not all he thought it would be.
Friday Morning we all got up and caravans over to Blue Bell Ice Cream.
So for anyone that grew up in the South, You know about Blue Bell Ice Cream and how great it is. They gave us a tour of the plant and at the end of the tour, you got a free scoop of Ice Cream!! If you wanted more than one Scoop, it was 1.00 more for that. Here are a few shots from the tour.
After Blue Bell and another trip back to The Burger Palace (Scott could not get enough) We all headed over to my Cousin Jean's house for the welcome dinner. I only got a few shots because I was being a social butterfly but it was a great event:
I also forgot to mention that while we were there, Scott ordered me some roses and had sent to the room when we came back from Blue Bell.... It was a a beautiful surprise.
Saturday we took a trip to Crockett to see where it all began. We all put on our Jersey's and headed out on the bus. Here are a few pictures of the family:
And as you can tell.... Scott took a nap on the ride.
Saturday Night was the Family Banquet at the hotel:
Sunday we headed over to my Cousin Wilma's for Supper and ate once again.
Monday we headed back home to Los Angeles and of course I took my roses with me.
I cant wait for 2015 in Los Angeles... the plans are coming together and it will be great.
Have a great week loves!
