This past Thursday was Saint Valentine's day! Lovers and friends everywhere exchanged cards and chocolates and just, presents and junk or whatever they liked. In our last post, Aaron shared OUR day, which was filled with a fun trip to the Houston Zoo and Hermann Park with everyones' favorite little Fanatic, Isaac.
Aaron and I took this Saturday to have a bit of a couples' date and asked Aaron's parents to watch Isaac for the day. We decided to go back into the city and have a little picnic and then attend Discovery Green's Flea on the Green by night. We had also planned to attend Texas Art Asylum's (a local "junk" and art supply store) grand re-opening, but due to a few closed exits on the highway, we lost about an hour and couldn't make it. :s
We stopped by Central Market to get some things for our picnic, which turned out to be fairly short because of the unexpected chill and plus there were some people playing drums in the park, and Aaron and I really have a distaste for large drum circles.
The Quiet Fanatic Recipe for a Romantic Picnic
-Prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe
-Proscuitto wrapped mozzarella
-Garlic Parmesean Breadsticks (the hard, skinny sort)
-Blackberries
-Crudites
-Iced Tea (with no ice)
-A Chocolate filled croissant (to share)
All in all, the picnic was very fun. I found out that I do not care for raw zucchini, Aaron discovered that he likes chocolate filled croissants, and a young drug addict asked us if we had any cigarettes to spare.
Flea on the Green at night is much like regular Flea on the Green, with the slight difference of it being at night. Oh, and there was some sort of NBA All Star convention going on at the George R. Brown, which is RIGHT across the street from Discovery Green, so there was like 10x more people than we expected everywhere. They also had a mobile bar (which was closed) set up, and a temporary carnival food station in the middle of the park. We got foot long corn dogs, which I am starting to regret right about now. After milling around the Flea a bit, Aaron bought me a late Valentine's day present and we rushed home to see our little one, who we often miss for some strange reason.
I hope y'all also had a wonderful Valentine's day!
