4th of July in Houston

I love the outlets...have I ever mentioned that? Now, they are only 15 minutes from our house. I really needed to update my work wardrobe a bit so we hit the mall this morning and we scored big time. The outlet near here has a Jones of New York outlet, I got $650 worth of clothes for $80 including a brand new suit that I can wear as a suit or as seperates. Mark went the more casual route and bought a couple of breatable shirts to hang out in. All in all a pretty good trip.

For the evening, we headed to the race track to bet on some horses and to watch fireworks. The first race we bet with the odds, and got nothing. The second one went better and we picked the winner. Overall we did pretty good, I guess that happens when you only make $2 bets.

When the fireworks started, we were really impressed. There was music, we were really close and they were huge! Then something must have broke, because they stopped and the announcer pleaded with people to wait for "part 2". When part 2 started it was okay, and it did not end with a grand finale. We think the grand finale was in the middle!?! They were pretty good, but not as good as we have seen in New York!
