Airline buddy passes (despite the fact that they were with United gag me) have been moved to the very top of my favorite things list.
Show up to the 5 am flight 30 minutes early so that the "gate keeper"
can take one look at your ticket reading Stand By and snub you to the side despite
your completely full arms and screaming baby. Then wait while every single person boards
the plane to see if by some chance some ticketed traveler pushed snooze one
too many times on their alarm clock that morning.
It all being worth it because....
Thanks to them we were able to spend time with two of my most favorite people in the whole world (drum roll pleeese...) my sister Aunt Betsy and her ridiculously cute son Cam-bo!!
They surprised us with a fun visit all the way from Tennessee and we could not have been happier!
These little guys are like kindred spirits and it kills me that they live so far apart, so we made the very best of their time together!
We:
read lots of books, went on walks, played in the Texas rain, played in the play place, ate yummy
lots of Texas food!
When it came time for them to leave we couldn't take it!
SO we hoped on the same flight back with them!! (thank you buddy pass again!)
We looked a bit ridiculous with our large load and two kids but it was SOO worth it
In Nashville we stayed busy with all of the fun things there are to do there. Not that I'm surprised, but who knew Nashville, right?!
It is so so green complemented by the large rolling hills that makes it gorgeous.
They live in such a fun area complete with a huge pond filled with turtles. I'm convinced it's where Bowser (conniving Mario Brothers super villain) lives.
The downtown scene was only about 1 MILLION times better than Houston's and even the most country-music-hating person would find it hard not to have a blast with all of the live music!
And um, turns out there is an exact replica of the Parthenon in Nashville....? Right?!
I love you Bets and Cam-man and we already miss you so much! Thanks for an amazing 2 weeks!
