It was okay, nothing wonderful but I'm glad I went. I might go again, but nothing I would do super often. The best part of it was probably the white tigers.
Also, I can take Somi pretty much anywhere. But she is unreasonably quiet and well behaved, I have no idea how. (proof of nature over nuture, my two girls are COMPLETE opposite) I am pretty sure Somi has never barked in public, so weird. But I have taken her to lots of stores, including grocery stores. I have even had managers tell me how cute she is and never say anything about her not supposed to be there. But she stays in her sling bag and stays quiet. Also, lots of restaurants with outside seating that let you bring your babies!

If you don't mind me asking, where is your BF interning?

I actually find it fairly difficult to get truely lost in Houston, but you can get a little lost pretty easy.
And though the Galleria is nice and the closest mall to me there are SOOO many great shopping spots in Houston. Just around the Gal there are lots of shopping strips with lots of the same stores. Then there are the outlet malls on the outskirts, Katy Mills and Houston Premium Outlets (I think?). And HPO would be a good stop for you on the way in from College Station, it's on 290 almost an hour out from the center of Houston. The first time I went was on my way in to Houston from Abilene (hometown) with my mom and Suzi (my mom's Maltese, when she was a baby). It's a strip mall so great shopping and puppies can get out and walk around.

um...I'll add more if I think of other things you should do in Houston. I am kind of a hermit/homebody so I don't do a lot of things. lol.
White tigers at an aquarium..hehe It sounds fun! I'm from SC, lived on the beach my entire life, so I've been missing it soo much! The aquarium will be a blast for me, I think. Thank you soo much for all the info! I feel so much better about this summer now. As for my bf's internship, I'm not exactly sure of the name of the place, but it's a medical lab that his uncle's boyfriend owns. I think it's in connection with one of the hospitals. I'll ask the name when he gets off classes.

I am a girly girl through and through so thanks for all the shopping hints, I appreciate it! my wallet doesn't though hehe I wanna make the most of my time there and not sit inside. I do enough of that now in CS. And Luma looovesss going places with us! I really want a Kwigy Bo, that's my next thing on the list! I don't have a carrier for her right now. Gotta get on that :P Thanks again!
