Celebrating 2 years at the Aquarium

Kristi came down to Houston this past weekend, and with so many things to do and occasions going on, we kind of had to cram a lot into this one weekend. For one, this past Friday was her medical school interview at Baylor (my school), so that was kind of an exciting affair. We also were celebrating our 2 year anniversary since we started dating, and I also have a birthday (my 26th) coming up as well, so we tried our best to get as much in as we could. And in the middle of all that, I had an overnight call that I had to spend in the Psych ER too! So yeah, this was a pretty hectic and crazy weekend, but overall I think it went very well.

As I mentioned, I had to spend all Thursday night in Ben Taub Hospital for an overnight psych ER call. It went ok, tended to two patients all night as it was really slow due to the cold winter weather that Houston got that night. I did manage to make it home in time for K to get off to her interview, after which I slept pretty much the rest of the day. After picking her back up, I had made plans to go to the Downtown Houston Aquarium (restaurant and theme park type place) all dressed up and have a fun night there for a our 2 years. K wore a dress I had recently gotten her and I wore a new suit I had gotten recently.

It's a really cool place. The restaurant itself is three stories with a bar/lounge on the first floor, and you walk up a spiral staircase around a 3 story cylindrical aquarium to go up to the main dining floor around an even larger tank filled with all types of fish, sharks, and coral reefs. We both had fish and then just walked around and enjoyed the sites.


Inside the Restaurant


There was a large decorated Christmas tree outside within view of the skyscrapers as well as the landmark neon Ferris wheel. K also posed outside one of the many water fountains as well.

We then made our way through the large aquarium exhibit that had many many different kinds of fish, as well as the white tigers from Asia. We had a really fun time and said that we'd have to go back again when it wasn't so cool outside and we could do more of the attractions.

After making it back, we had birthday cake and all that fun stuff as well. She got me Scrubs season 2, yay!
