B's First and Second Flights

B is a great traveler.

Last Wednesday, B and I travelled to Texas to visit my mom (B's Gigi) and some of our friends and family. Gigi is working half of the time in TX so we decided we would go keep her company. We drove from our small town to Gigi and Pops' house that morning. Pops made lunch for us (well, me) and my grandmother ate with us. Then, he took us to the airport. We had a nonstop flight to TX. All went pretty well. Security was LOADS of fun...let's say they were very unclear about exactly how they wanted the stroller and car seat. Ohh well. The flight was a breeze. B was hungry and ate during take off. She then slept the rest of the flight. Gigi met us at the airport and we headed to her temporary apartment.

We had a great but busy weekend. Thursday, B and I bummed around Gigi's apartment during the day. We did venture out to help Gigi and visit her work. That evening we went to Chuy's for dinner. Friday, we drove back to where we lived before moving home. We ate lunch with some friends. The we went and visited with our friend Rachel and briefly saw B's boyfriend (Jr). Junior had a cold so his mamas kept him most of our visit. Jr is 6 months older than B though he looks a year older than her. It's crazy to think B is gonna get that big anytime soon. We ate dinner with some other friends and drove back to Gigi's apartment. We brought back one of my friends with us.

Saturday, we had a girl's day of shopping which was nice. It included eating at California Pizza Kitchen (we had small plates which were good.$ and Cheesecake Factory (also very very good as always...). Sunday, we got up and met two of my cousins for lunch and then did some furniture shopping for Gigi's new apartment. Monday, we got up and headed for the airport.

We were sad to go, but excited to see Daddy (the Hubs). Security was much easier now that we knew what to do. B was great again on the flight. Pops picked us up and fed us lunch before sending us on the way home.

We made it back to meet the Hubs as he got home from work. We dressed B up in her Halloween costume and got ready for the trick or treaters.

B and I had a great trip, though I think it will be 2012 before we attempt something like that again. We are exhausted and have spent last night and today trying to catch up on sleep and rest.
