Today we took the wheels from Steven's 1969 Lincoln Continental to our School Bus. Everyone's got one of these to store their shit in, right? Our washer and dryer are in there. I love how this bus has some awesome fonts. Probably hand-painted.
"THE DANGER ZONE"
Hotel Stay: HOTEL SORELLA
H O T E L
TWO THINGS: Second thing. This past weekend was one of the best ever. Friday was Steven and my 6 year anniversary--our last "dating" anniversary to celebrate because the count will go back to zero when we get married! AND Saturday I went WEDDING DRESS shopping!! And then after that Steven and I travelled a really long two-minutes to Hotel Sorella in CityCentre for an in-town getaway. We lounged at the pool both days and ate a fancy-schmancy dinner at Eddie V's. Jesse Dayton was playing at Monnalisa Bar but we both had food hang-overs and didn't make it. Sad face. The Platters - My PrayerI ate breakfast twice on Sunday and took full advantage of all-day Katz's coffee!
I'd like to recommend Hotel Sorella to our friends and family that will be traveling to Houston from out-of-town for our wedding---located in our 'hood in Memorial at CityCentre, Sorella is the epicenter of various restaurants, cafes, shopping, Studio Movie Grill (we're there every week) and more which are tightly wound up so there's no long-distance walking. It's right at I-10 and the Beltway so you've got extremely easy access to all of Houston from this very spot, to get to our wedding venue would take about 20-30 minutes.
Hotel Sorella is a warm, contemporary space with super comfortable beds + linens, modern furnishings, amazing views-- but the best feature is its' location. If you want to walk there are a ton of options: the pool is on Monnalisa's 2nd-level patio which is above The Yardhouse, adjacent to Bistro Alex, overlooks Straits and Ruggles Green--those are just the places that are THISCLOSE. A few steps farther and you've got Anthropologie, Studio Movie Grill, Cafe Rose, RA Sushi, Brio Tuscan, Chipolte and Jamba Juice! There's always something going on, like farmers markets or dog parties in the park--we love it here, and this is our favorite hotel we've ever stayed at in Houston.
