Labor Day Weekend in Sugarland

September 2014
Ian had been working in Texas City, Texas for six weeks and received a job offer to be the administrator for Oceanview in Texas City.  This meant we would be packing our bags from San Antonio and moving east to the Houston area.  We had a weekend to find a house to rent so we spent Labor Day weekend in Sugarland searching the surrounding areas to find the perfect spot.  We stayed at the Sugarland Marriott in town square for the weekend.  We started south in Texas City and kept driving north up highway 6 to figure out where to move.  I just fell in love with the First Colony development in the Sugarland and Missouri City area, so although we knew it would be a commute for Ian, it was a perfect spot for our family.  The entire master planned community of first colony is all brick houses and old fashioned street lights and lamps.  Its so charming and full of beautiful trees and lakes.  Aside from the beautiful scenery, the community also has a huge community center with water slides, a lazy river and splash pad!  Lorelai will go to Austin Parkway Elementary for kindergarten.  

Driving from San Antonio to Sugarland, girls only!  Can't wait to meet up with Dad
