Toasting with the Dinosaurs

This past Friday, I danced with a T-rex, shared Cabernet with an Ankylosaurus, and just had a ball! Sound like fun? You can do it too! The Houston Museum of Natural Science has their Mixers and Elixirs event every Friday this summer, through August 26th. They've got some tasty hors d'oeuvres, fully stocked bars, and always a live band. Just be sure to bring cash money with you, as the bars are paper money only. Here are a few photos we snapped while breaking it down prehistoric style!

Absinthe

It's been a while since I've mentioned any Houston nightlife hot spots, but I have found one worthy. I originally visited there couple of years ago, but after revisiting the other night, I knew blogging must occur. It is called the Absinthe Restaurant and Lounge, and it is one of my happy places. It's a very dark, intimate bar with amazing food (the gourmet pizza's are my favorite), warm cozy ambiance, and knock out cocktails. And yes, they do serve the green fairy...if you dare. They have tons of cushy couches, which totally rock because you feel like you're just hanging out in your stylish friend's living room. I should also note that this would be a perfect after hours spot if you are on a hot date. However, if you and your date drink the absinthe, I cannot be accountable for your actions. Check it out and let me know what you think!
