Austin to Boston: Houston + Angleton TX

Houston, Texas

In Houston, we had lunch with Alex and her husband Allen. Alex was the Best Matron at our wedding. They live near the Medical Center of Houston, where Alex is doing research through her graduate program. The Medical Center is instense: at least a dozen hospitals have their own skyscrapers.

Stephen’s dad has family in Angleton. He was one of seven children. Four are pictured here:



Marilyn (front in green) Jacqueline (her twin in black behind her), Beeno on the far left, and Stoney in front in the leather vest.  We stayed with Marilyn. Her husband Lee in yellow, son Matt in blue, son Chris in black with his wife Courtney, daughter Cathleen in green, and Cathleen’s son Trevor with his pa-pa. (Stephen is far right in black, of course.)
Stephen’s granddad, San Benito left before the photo. He is the second of five San Benitos (Beano is the third, his son Benny is the forth, and Beano’s daughter’s son is the fifth.) The first San Benito passed away in 2007, a few months shy of 100.
As long as I’m showing cute pets, their dog Spike seems to be a Dachshund/Dalmatian.  He's a fun combo.
