-While driving through a new neighborhod, we discovered a frozen yogurt shop Nuyo. It’s a self serve with toppings bar, and SO GOOD! I am up for moving to this neighborhood just to have better access to this place. http://www.nuyofrozenyogurt.com/
-Within walking distance, we discovered Daphne’s Greek Cuisine. It’s fast and tasty. http://www.daphnesgreekcafe.com/
-Event though we are surrounded by retail, there are nice neighborhoods to walk through, with small parks for the kids to play in. The trees are in bloom right now and many of them don’t smell so great.
-There is alot of protected wetlands as well. We have a wetland right behind our complex and see a large variety of birds, plus pheasant and turkey.
-We have a precious dove that coos by our window throughout the day. It’s my music.
-I have made one friend at our complex so far. She is a SAHM of three kids, the oldest being 7. He is mild special needs. She and her husband are from Turkey and I love hearing her speak. They have been in America for 9 years. We had a playdate at their place yesterday and was introduced to turkish coffee. Oh yeah!! She is Muslim, but not a "fanatic clown", as she has dubbed the Muslim fanatic. I look forward to getting to know her better and have encouraged her to visit Bayside’s MOPS group.
-The church we have been attending is Bayside. http://www.baysideonline.com. They have the Body and Soul ministry that is a Christian exercise class. It is the hardest and best class I have EVER attended. I completed my first week (3x this week) and feel stronger already. If you are interested in body and soul, go to http://www.bodyandsoul.org/
-The church also has a cafe, that is run by volunteers. They have music Thursday nights, and it is a great place to visit before or after services or classes. http://baysidecafeonline.com
-We have an In -N- Out Burger place within walking distance. What a fine example of what a fast food restaurant should strive to be. I had never had one before our trip here. http://www.in-n-out.com/
-I am trying to get used to how they recycle here. You just throw everything into the garbage and the disposal company has people who separate it for you. I keep feeling like I am doing something wrong. There are recycling centers that will pay you for glass, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans, so I am going to set up a system for the boys so they can learn to recycle and make a little money too.
-It is a little cool in the morning and evening, but the boys are wearing shorts and short sleeve through the day. Some kids played in the pool yesterday. I got up to 80, I think.
Hey Leigh,
Love reading your posts- they bring back memories (and sometime give me a twinge of envy ;).
I *miss* frozen yogurt! I'm not sure if I've ever seen one here.
I also miss In-N-Out Burger… their fries… their chocolate shakes… their burgers… Mmmm! 🙂 The best.
The weather….
I'm glad you're enjoying your new home! 🙂
Love, Alyssa
I love in-n-out and Daphne's is pretty good too!
So glad you have made a friend.
It sounds like you are having fun exploring the area.
There is a fun mini golf place not far from the the galleria.
Any plans to meet up with the Old Schoolhouse ladies??
