Texas for the Weekend

This past weekend I headed back to Texas for my first visit since I left. I realize it's only been a little over 2 months, but when you're used to seeing family as much as I was, 2 months is a long time.

A couple of weeks ago Dad mentioned to me that he thought it'd be a good idea if I came home one weekend, soon, to see Mimi. The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. With the original intentions of it being a day trip...literally, it turned out to be the entire weekend, and I'm glad it did.

It all started with me flying out of DC bright and early...6 am, to San Antonio. I was hoping to surprise my sister for the weekend and it worked out just perfect. Susan picked me up from the airport and our first stop was Mama Margies...really good fast Mexican food, food like you can't find up here...so that definitely hit the spot. We then headed to Fredericksburg where I walked in my sisters backdoor and scared her! She had no idea I was coming and it was perfect. She was so glad I was there...as was I, even if I had woken up at 3:00 am EST to come to Texas! Will was asleep when I arrived and I kept wanted to wake him up to see him, however, when he did wake up... he wanted nothing to do with me! It kind of hurt my feelings, but I'm going to blame it on the bangs. Even after trying to offer him oreos for a 'peace offereing' I got nothing.... though, he eventually did figure out who I was and it was all fine after that!

Saturday we spent most of the day in the car, driving to Houston to see Mimi, although it made for a long car ride, it was worth it. I also got to see Robert & Sarah and their family as well as Aunt Judy. I also got a surprise visit from Hayley & Kaylynn! I had no idea they were coming over, nor did Jennifer, so it was really great to get to see them too! It was nice to see everyone and really hard to believe that I was there "visiting."

It was Sunday before I knew it and time to fly back home. It was fun to be there and I'm defnitely glad I got to spend the weekend in Fredericksburg, kind of, even though we were barely there.

Of course it wouldn't be smooth sailing all the way home because when I got back into DCA, I could not find my car - which was awesome. I walked around for about 35 minutes before I finally called Rob and was like yea, I can't find my car. Of course, once he got there to help me "search" for my car, we found it in no time at all.

It was a quick trip, highly worth it, but I'm happy to be back home.
