Barnaby was an Old English Sheep dog that died when the owner was 12 years old. There is a mural in the restaurant that says that Barnaby brought the owner so much joy in his childhood, that he decided to dedicate the restaurant to him. There are beautiful painted murals of Barnaby in various activities including going to the beach and the mural below shows Barnaby going to heaven. Painted on the wall and on the waiter's t-shirts are dog bones with angel wings attached. As you leave, the mints are presented in dog bowls. It is very sweet and touching to know the story behind the restaurant as a dog lover! By the way, the food is really excellent also!<br /></p><p><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf9lyu8OQI/AAAAAAAAAPo/AuBz-BjfT_M/s1600-h/DSCN3321.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217417519047653634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="268" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf9lyu8OQI/AAAAAAAAAPo/AuBz-BjfT_M/s200/DSCN3321.JPG" width="351" border="0" /></a> Mom at Barnaby's...<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217417530459757938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 345px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 292px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="256" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf9mdPzHXI/AAAAAAAAAPw/OCMGxm0T9OQ/s200/DSCN3322.JPG" width="299" border="0" />The ceiling...<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf9mlRCYEI/AAAAAAAAAP4/9jVKSj6F50s/s1600-h/DSCN3324.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217417532612436034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 338px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 237px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="226" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf9mlRCYEI/AAAAAAAAAP4/9jVKSj6F50s/s200/DSCN3324.JPG" width="329" border="0" /></a> Here is a video of the restaurant...<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZCusvHfpiwQ&amp;hl=en"><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZCusvHfpiwQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p><p>The menu...<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AAz0maI/AAAAAAAAAPA/c44-sPl6FL4/s1600-h/DSCN3326.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217415770479565218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 335px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="245" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AAz0maI/AAAAAAAAAPA/c44-sPl6FL4/s200/DSCN3326.JPG" width="277" border="0" /></a><br />Melissa at Barnaby's...<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AXjf_sI/AAAAAAAAAPI/Y66QUGyBOyM/s1600-h/DSCN3327.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217415776585121474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 337px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 269px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="212" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AXjf_sI/AAAAAAAAAPI/Y66QUGyBOyM/s200/DSCN3327.JPG" width="272" border="0" /></a> Back at the apartment...<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AtUJ2pI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/5e-QYUs9qRs/s1600-h/DSCN3328.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217415782426335890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 338px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 296px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="202" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8AtUJ2pI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/5e-QYUs9qRs/s200/DSCN3328.JPG" width="235" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8A247uZI/AAAAAAAAAPY/osKrrkxOlIg/s1600-h/DSCN3329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217415784996518290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 338px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="218" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8A247uZI/AAAAAAAAAPY/osKrrkxOlIg/s200/DSCN3329.JPG" width="272" border="0" /></a> Amanda on Sunday morning...It was so nice to have her visit!<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8BGuYT1I/AAAAAAAAAPg/R3MXjSRPcRo/s1600-h/DSCN3331.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217415789247221586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 373px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 329px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="267" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZQb5SmgPZXg/SGf8BGuYT1I/AAAAAAAAAPg/R3MXjSRPcRo/s200/DSCN3331.JPG" width="269" border="0" /></a> To be continued... </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3586154786017093762-1303479629559854605?l=houstonchicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Houston Chicks!!!noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586154786017093762.post-47014304530709186832008-06-26T20:36:00.004-04:002008-06-26T21:33:49.802-04:00Today, we visited a shopping center called Uptown Park. <br /> <br />Here we are leaving the apartment complex... <br /><img style="WIDTH: 281px; HEIGHT: 219px" height="758" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/MissyMels/houstonjune26/DSCN3281.jpg" width="281" border="0" /> <br />Here are the gates opening... <br /><img style="WIDTH: 282px; HEIGHT: 233px" height="754" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/MissyMels/houstonjune26/DSCN3282.jpg" width="282" border="0" /> <br />This is the fountain in front of the apartment complex... <br /></a><img style="WIDTH: 282px; HEIGHT: 246px" height="758" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/MissyMels/houstonjune26/DSCN3284.jpg" width="282" border="0" /> <br />We have arrived at Uptown Park!
