Our trip to Texas

We took couple of days off and visited V and family in Houston last weekend. We had a great time - enjoyed awesome food, good company and warm weather. We also managed to do a one day road trip to San Antonio from Houston. It was a little more than 3 hrs drive, one way from Houston.

We visited Alamo, roamed about along the river walk and had lunch by the river.

Alamo

San Antonio River Walk

I would have liked to spend more time there - shopping and walking but we had to hit the road again pretty soon to make it back to Houston in reasonable time. It was a little hectic but felt good to be on the road - grabbing coffee on the way, talking and just hanging together as family.

Tamil Concert - 'Geetanjali'

Geetanjali is non-profit Tamil music band that performs yearly for ASHA's cause in the Seattle area. I find it to be great way to entertain and also raise money for a good cause. This is my third year attending their concert and this time I was completely blown away with the way the event was organized and executed. Hats off to the Geetanjali orchestra, ASHA team and all the volunteers. And boy, was it entertaining. The singers were all so brilliant and the band amazing! They also had a kids orchestra, playing instruments like - violins, saxophone and guitar. It was so wonderful to see and hear the young talent.

I have concluded that I am a great fan of live performances.
