Friday night

#FridayNight

Barcade

First time at Barcade (EightyTwo) on Friday night. Pretty cool spot, but I would recommend getting there early because when we left there was a pretty decent sized line outside.

bonfire

Huntington Beach

Had a bonfire with some friends on Saturday night. Haven’t had one of those in a really long time, so it was nice to be back.

Snow Monster

green tea shaved ice

After the bonfire we headed over to Snow Monster for some shaved ice. We had the green tea with almond jelly and strawberries, topped with condensed milk. So healthy, right?

Cactus

New addition: the cactus. Been wanting one for awhile and so happy I finally found one. (Obsessed with my new teal agate coasters from Target!)

Happen to find this gem while cleaning out my room last week. *NSync > Backstreet Boys

The Pie Hole

Had dinner with the BFF at The Pie Hole in downtown. The pie was good, just a little rich.

Angel City Brewery

Jenga at Angel City Brewery. Such a cool spot to chill and hang out with friends. Will definitely be coming back here.

Midnight bowling on Friday night.

In-N-Out

Ended the night with some In-N-Out, FINALLY. Nothing compares to this.

Target boots

Can you believe these boots are from Target?!

Fringe Leather Jacket

Regret not buying this leather fringe jacket that I saw in Phoenix on our way back home. If only I could afford it…

While in Marfa, we stayed at El Cosmico, which is a camp ground in which you can rent out trailers, tepees and tents to stay in (I believe you can even bring your own tents). We stayed in the Royal Mansion trailer and if you are ever in Marfa, I highly recommend staying at this place. We loved it! Definitely plan to stay here again if we come back.

Prada Marfa

The famous Prada sculpture right outside of Marfa. So glad I got to see this on our trip back home.

C.S. Lewis quote

 Finally made it back home to CA last Sunday, and it has just been a whirlwind of unpacking and meeting up with friends and family. I am happy to be home, but it was definitely bittersweet leaving Houston. Moving away from home has opened my eyes to what life has to offer. I am so thankful for the opportunities I had in Houston and for all of the people I met. Houston will always hold a special place in heart and I hope to be back to visit soon.

Jus' Mac

On Thursday we had dinner at Jus Mac in Montrose. Look at all of that cheesy goodness. If you’ve got a thing for mac and cheese, this is the place to be. FYI, the personal size was definitely enough.

Dessert at Uchi

On Sunday, we finally ate at Uchi for happy hour. I am so happy we got to eat there before we left. We had been wanting to try it for so long, but just never got around to it until now. This was hands down, the best meal I’ve had in Houston. The food and the service was amazing. Definitely coming back the next time I’m back in Houston. Only advice I have is to go early because they are constantly crowded from the time the doors open!
