Shopping, Sun at the Pool, El Meson, Citizen Lounge and Pandora!!

We woke up early-ish this morning....considering how late we got in, I was impressed by the hour! :) Lora and I met Nita at the mall....and we had a pretty intense afternoon of shopping before meeting Bryan and Luis at the pool. Luckily Target sells bathing suits....we were able to get everything that we needed for the afternoon there without having to go home - haha!!

The pool at Luis' was great.....we managed to get a little bit of sun in between the rain clouds, and enjoyed the afternoon. We headed out to run a few more errands before getting ready for another fun girl's night out.


The 5 of us went to dinner at El Meson in Rice Village....and again, had a fantastic meal! Soooo yummy......we tried to avoid the garlic, but couldn't pass up the Shrimp in Garlic and Olive Oil. Damn that garlic....it's the gift that keeps on giving. :) But, it was so worth it.....delicious!!


We hit up Citizen Lounge for a bit after dinner. It was a neat place, but we weren't really feeling the vibe or the music the DJ was playing. We were all kind of in the mood to shake our tail feathers, and it just wasn't happening there. We had managed to find parking there, and didn't have to shell out a ton of cash for valet, so we didn't feel bad about heading further down Washington to see what we could find next.


Our travel down the road landed us at Pandora. Score again for us that we found parking that was close, free, and had no wait! We were feeling pretty lucky.....but then we got to the door. There was a line, and even though we were 5 girls, none of us are comfortable pulling that card....at least blatantly....to skip a line. So, we waited patiently....but made sure that the door guy could see us from where we were standing. :) We're so sneaky - haha! Sure enough, about 10 minutes later....he looked over towards our way....Becky did a little wave and smile....and then a second later, he came over, pulled the rope up, and said to us "Come on in ladies! Next time, come up to the front where I can see your pretty faces and you won't have to wait." Awwww....so charming. Of course, we all smiled and said our sweetest "thank yous", and headed in to where the music and fun was happening.



We immediately hit the dance floor....and didn't stop until we left when the lights came on. Our feet were so sore once we stopped moving....but we managed to come together to take a few fun pictures on the walk back to the car. Not sure what it is about fun spots to take pictures that make me think we are all super models and need to get these kind of shots....but hey, it was so much fun.....and we look smokin! :) It was hysterical the reactions that we got from the cars passing by on the street too.


Another fantastic weekend in Houston with the girls. It's now their turn to come to Austin! :)
