Taking a bite out of Texas

We have come to love staying at suite hotels that offer breakfast buffets (and sometimes light evening meals) and a kitchen.  With the kids, it makes travel so much easier.  Our favorite chain is Residence Inn by Marriott, and that's where we stayed the first few days we were in Houston until all our belongings arrived and we moved into our new house.  They offer a big selection of breakfast items, and we usually grab some dry cereal, fresh fruit, yogurts, and bagels to supplement snacks throughout the day (there's that snack thing again!).  Leighton's favorite breakfast request is always the make-it-yourself waffle station.  We've made countless waffles during our vacations over the last few years, but the ones at this hotel were the best we've ever seen!
