We're Back!

We've been back from our trip to Texas one week now. Here are a few highlights from the trip:

*Make sure you have ALL your luggage before leaving the airport... Jono...
*Put all baby foods in checked luggage in baggies so they do not pop open and spew applesauce all over your shirts... Jono...
*I heart NASA.
*The Saturn V rocket is GIANT. So cool to see something that actually would have gone into space.
*I like being called "Auntie".
*Isaiah was so good for being sick and being in his carseat about 60% of the trip.
*Cowboy Stadium is awesome!
*OU fans are some of the most gracious fans out there.
*If I'm ever in Texas during a hurricane, I'm going to Woodsville. Those people have got it down!
*The Grassy Knolls was a definite highlight of the trip. I never knew so much of that history and am now intrigued. Need to watch "JFK" now.

*Sleep number beds may not be all they're cracked up to be.
*I love the frontage roads that run alongside the freeways in Houston and Dallas. So convenient.
*Gummy worms in a baggie and a very warm car don't mix.
*Wish there was an ice rink inside one of the malls here.
*It is really, REALLY hot at 3:00 pm outside of a stadium that won't let you in until 4:00.
*BYU WON!!!

*Time with family is priceless.
*The Houston temple is beautiful. Wish we could have done a session.

*Late night drive-thrus at Whataburger can be very long which leads to a lot of loopy laughing in the vehicle...
*Everything's bigger in Texas... Um, sure, whatever you say.
*The view of the ocean and a pretty blue sky is so calming. Love it.

*I am not too bad at crosswords. Only easy ones though.
*I make really ugly faces. Fez and I had a contest. He thinks he won, but clearly I have the uglier face. What do you think?

You crack me up! What a fun trip! I have never been to Texas, but I think you've just inspired me to add it to my places to visit.

Sorry, Brian but she has you for sure. Your attempts still look like you, only maybe in a slow-motion sequence of pain and while sad I couldn't call that ugly. Jenny, yours on the other hand don't hardly look like you and some are near hideous! Looks like the trip was a lot of fun.
