They got here on Thursday night and we went to Sweet Tomatos for dinner (because I love it there and Cory isn't crazy about it). On Friday we went to the temple for a visit.
Then we went to get our nails done. In fact, Becky was the one to get those cute spiders put on her big toes that I copied a week later. Diane always wants to get her nails done when she comes - it is hilarious listening to her conversations with the vietnamese ladies that she can not understand at all! She is a good sport and anything they offer to do to her she usually lets them (nails, toenails, eyebrows, bikini wax (jk on the last one).
After that we went over to Old Town Spring - which is a little section of town (the old part) where it's all renovated little homes which are now quaint little shops. We ate fried twinkies and fried oreos and had quiche on a patio cause the weather was wonderful. I paid $4 for an unmarked white chocolate haystack and then we came home to get ready for the play.
Becky and I waiting for the play to start - we barely made it in time because Cory wasn't there to navigate around downtown and I don't know where I am going. (This is when Diane got in trouble from the usher for using her camera.) The play was good - I had never seen the movie, so I didn't know what it was about or what to expect but I really enjoyed it. Becky could have sung all the songs like the girls behind us tried to but she was much too polite to do that, too bad those girls didn't take a lesson.
After the show waiting for the valet to bring the car around.
On Saturday we went out to some outlet stores that I had heard about but never been to - they turned out to be fabulous and I will definitely return! Becky got something for each of her kids and I got some stuff for Cam. We met up with Cory later in the afternoon for dinner at El Rincon. We ate so much over the course of the weekend that I didn't eat anything till 5pm on Sunday! (I truly wasn't hungry till then.) Becky and Diane left on the morning flight back to Utah. It was a wonderful visit - I don't think Becky has been down here since Cam got baptized in 2000.

FYI--If you are just going to the theater and not out to eat or anything before hand, it is SO easy to get there. Take 45 into town. When you come around the curve by the ferris wheel there is a left exit for McKinney St. Take it! Dive into town. Take a left at the first light (Bagby) and a left at the next light (Walker) and the Hobby Center is on your right. :-) It's as easy as that!
Yay! I had so much fun...I might just cut and paste your post to my blog because I haven't had a chance to put anything on there yet.
Thank you so much for everything, you were a marvelous hostess. I keep thinking of Cory singing that weird song along with his computer down the hall. It makes me giggle. :) Love you guys!
Thanks Sharon - where were you when I needed you? I always take that first one (the museum exit - cause that is what Mapquest says). Actually, I usually pick Cory up at work and we are coming from his office. I think this is the first time I have driven without him and straight to it. We should go together sometime, if there is ever anything that you want to see that Steve doesn't, you know who to call!
