J and I went on vacation with JL and CL. It was JL's 45th birthday on the 8th, so she wanted to go to one of her happy places, Galveston! CL rented a cute little condo room that was across the street from a part of the Seawall. (Seawall Boulevard is 10 miles long; it's the big tourist trap area where all the vacationers stay.) It rained a good part of that weekend, but it made the weather much more tolerable because Texan summers are brutally hot. We ate brunch at Miller's Seawall Grill, had yummy dinners at Salsas and Mario's, drove to Houston to check out the Galleria Mall (I got a lobster charm from Pandora to commemorate the trip!), and got to enjoy some time at the beach with a snocone that an enterprising man with a cart sold to J.

Went to the soft opening of a claw arcade after J got home from work. He won me a Kuromi and My Melody plushie! We plan to return for the official opening celebration; I want to use their photo booth! We had to stop into Target to access the pharmacy, so we picked up a couple of fun things, like 30% off Easter candy. We also finally found a small air purifer for the office. I was lucky enough to not get dupes of the Monster High Potions "Best Boos Forever" blind box vinyl dolls. I'm only missing the Spectra / Twyla duo from that set now, so I'll probably look on eBay for a reseller vs. trying my luck to get them.

Easter was low-key this year; it was fun watching The Tournament of Champions on Food Network as we ate dinner with The Fam

Went out to brunch with J and JL at a local spot. I had a lox bagel and one of the best cappuccinos of my life. The Fam is planning on BBQing for Easter tomorrow, so J and I tagged along to Costco with the group because we wanted to find an air purifer. The ones in stock were much too large for our space, but I found a cute polo-style Nautica sundress with tiered ruffles. I've been on a dress kick as of late, they're kind of the perfect summer outfit!
