sorry for the crickets on the blog lately… i realized today that it has been almost a week since the last post.  sure doesn’t feel like it!  time has been flying far too quickly for me to keep up.  anyway, i’ve been meaning to post some pictures from a business trip i took to houston a couple weeks ago.  we stayed at the lovely hotel icon, which i found to be quite charming and luxurious.  all the photos are of the hotel or the surrounding area of the city within walking distance of the hotel.  oh, and try not to laugh too hard at the random ones – i’m a detail person, remember?  so this place pretty much stole my heart…

{hello, houston!}

{the most delicious iced tea infused with blackberry, orange, and rosemary welcomed me at the front desk.}

{a room with a view}

{lunch at the hotel restaurant was surprisingly good.  i had chile relleno – very tasty!}

{that heavenly bed was mine for an evening!}

{details}

{bathroom details}

{the huge bathtub was perfection after getting home at midnight from a chilly tour through a distribution center.}

{i wish i had pictures, but because the building used to be an old bank, you can see the vault, which is pretty cool.  they also built an octagonal bar right in the middle of the lobby area.}

{exploring the neighborhood}

it was a quick trip, but a great one nonetheless.  until next time, houston…
