Weekend Summary

Katrina's sister and cousins came to visit for a fun-filled weekend of shopping, eating, driving, movie watching, shopping, safe-at-home tequila drinking, going to Galveston beach, swimming, shopping and driving. It all went down pretty much without a hitch. Our trip to Galveston (pictured above, left to right: Grace, Abby, Katrina and Pamela) was fun, but it came at a price yet to be named - I got a speeding ticket on the way down there. Other than that, it was all pretty nice. Oh, and as we dropped the final relative off at the airport, the car began to overheat. So we'll have to deal with that, tomorrow.

We rented two movies last night: Layer Cake and Hide and Seek. Hide and Seek was okay, but I really recommend Layer Cake. It's a British crime flick pretty much in the same vein as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. In fact, it was directed, not by Guy Ritchie, but by Matthew Vaughn, the producer of Lock, Stock' and Snatch. It's a little grittier than those two movies, but still very stylish and slick. Check it out.
