Family Trip: Eating Big in Texas
I’ve finally arrived in Houston! The last time I was in Texas, I visited Killeen to see my niece graduate from 8th grade; and this week, she’s graduating from college. While here in Houston, I made sure to hit some great tourist spots. It’s flipping hot – me and the heat don’t get along. We were only in Houston for 3 days, so I had to make the best of it.
When we arrived, we met up with my niece for dinner, and had food at the Texas Roadhouse. Was it different from the chain in the Chicago area. I’m not sure. It’s kind of like eating Popeye’s Chicken in Louisiana. It basically taste the same. The next day we checked out the Kennedy Space Center. You’ll need at least 2 hours to get through the whole thing. It’s amazing what the men and women of that day did to get us this far in space exploration.
For dinner, we ordered some food from Pei Wei. This was a treat as the location in Chicago is no longer here. Because I’m doing keto, I ate the low carb version of the Mongolian beef and cauliflower rice. I would have totally preferred the regular steamed rice!
The following day, my husband and I met up with my mother-in-law to check out Killen’s Barbecue. Lawd have mercy, now that was a great. After all, it’s a sin to go to Texas without having barbecue. Last time I was in Texas, I had bbq from the Salt Lick in Driftwood. That’s another unforgettable experience.

Graduation Day has finally arrived, and it feels like thousands of families have descended upon Texas Southern University to watch their graduate walk across the stage and receive their diploma. It’s a hot and rainy day. Thankfully it’s indoors!
