Houston - The apparent hat trip

So I had a whirlwind two days in Houston for a site visit.  We arrived right around lunch on Wednesday, toured a few hotels, the convention center, and then got dinner.  Thursday was saved for a few more hotels, some offsite reception locations, the Minute Maid Park and a boot store.

By far, the highlight of the trip was the tour of Minute Maid Park.  There is just something about a baseball park.  The environment, even when there isn't a game going on, makes me so happy.  Plus, this park is really nice.  And bonus.... free baseball hat!  So of course, I had to try it on.  It totally goes with my outfit, no? :)


Towards the end of the day, my boss wanted to stop at a boot store to pick up some boots.  I'm not going to lie.  I have never felt more out of place in a store in my life.  The giant belt buckles, the rows and rows of cowboy boots, the endless cowboy hats and jeans.  The whole store smelled like leather.  I made an effort  by trying on one hat... and took a picture for evidence.


Needless to say, I did not go home with that hat.

I was glad to finally get home on Friday evening.  Brooke is in town for the weekend for work, so I'm going to meet up with her today (Saturday).
