On the Road Again...

After getting over this morning’s hangover, I took time to reflect on the night’s events. As probably garnered from the pics below, the night was a blur filled w/ dancing, drinking, and other things…Unfortunately, the night of delinquency and debauchery is over and it is time to move along to other things. After some errands in the morning we got into our new jet black Toyota Matrix and headed to Lake Charles.

The drive was filled w/ various flashbacks to my childhood when we occasionally made the drive to my family in New Orleans. So, the drive was punctuated with comments like, “Oh, I remember that Silo. This is a cool bridge. You go that way to get to my uncle’s”

A few hours later we arrived in Lake Charles at my nephew’s house. I haven’t seen then in over a year since they had moved away from Cali. It was good to see them. Both had grown and the oldest’s voice was starting to change. We played some video games and then headed to Houston to my brother’s place.

The evening in Houston began with a new quest to find Yao Ming’s parent’s restaurant. As you probably guessed it was called “Yao’s Restaurant.” I’ll leave the food critique to our resident Chinese cuisine connoisseur in the next post. We then headed to Chammp’s for drinks and the ball game.
