Tailgates N More


Chris, Mari, Conor, Gen, Joe, Suz

Texas is known for an abundance of trucks so when it's football season, there's no better place to tailgate.  With the help of a few brave souls to watch the kiddos, we were able to travel up I-45 to spend the weekend with some dear friends and fellow quad parents - Joe and Suz Steece and Conor and Gen McNulty.  Joe and Suz hosted us and hunted down tickets to the A&M game at Jerry's World.  The light rain couldn't stop us from having a blast out there!

After the game (3rd quarter actually), we met up with some more friends and fellow quad parents, the Gerwers to show the McNultys (who came all the way from California) how we roll in Texas.  There's no better place to do this than at Billy Bob's Honky Tonk.  This place is massive!  It has 2 dance floors for some good ol' 2-steppin', pool tables, a BBQ restaurant and a bull riding arena.  You won't fit in here if you don't use the entire bottle of starch on your jeans - it's the real deal!

We worked up quite an appetite on the dance floor so we checked into the Waffle House.  This place quickly became Conor's favorite restaurant and might just be the reason he moves here.

We had a great time and truly appreciate being able to get away and spend time with such wonderful friends.  Be sure that we weren't the only ones who had a blast - the kids played hard too. Here's a slideshow that Alaine put together of some of the highlights from her weekend with the Goerlich Gang, it's precious!
