We pulled out of Delicias on September 7th to begin our annual journey to Texas! Besides from being a bit phelgmy on and off for two weeks, I managed to get off oxygen and was feeling good for my trip! We went to San Jose and stayed with our dear friend Krystal. We always need one full day of rest before putting me on the airplane.
On the 9th my mom carried me out of bed at 5am and we headed to the airport. I was still sleeping when we arrived to the airport! In all reality, considering all the things we have to carry with us the trip to Houston was a breeze. Mom and Naty had to change me in the bathroom. This would be the first time I had to be changed on the bathroom floor. We had a big floor mat that we had brought with us. It is disappointing to me that the San Jose airport did not have a place or table to change me. It is degrading to have to be lying on a public bathroom floor. The flight was on time! Mom and Naty only had to change me four different times on the plane! Thank goodness those two are fast changers!
We arrived to Houston and breezed through immigration and customs. 🙂 My Aunty Theresa had driven the day before and left us her minivan for us to have to drive around! Dad went off to find it and Naty took me to the bathroom to change me in Houston. Amazing difference. The bathroom in Houston had a big changing table, was super clean and it was very convenient and easy to change me! Naty and I were super impressed! Hats off Houston!
We loaded up the car and headed out to Jenn’s house! This is the second year we are staying with her! My mom and Jennifer have been friends for over twenty years! We had a really nice time! I did not have such a great night of sleep but that is to be expected! It had been a long day of traveling.
The following day we loaded up and headed to Poppy and Gammy’s house. They were anxiously awaiting us! It has been a year since we have had some hugs! The time spent on the ranch was much fun! We went for long rides in the buggy around the property! One day me, Naty and dad went down to the tank and sat on the pier watching the birds fly by! We saw a bunch of deer too! So beautiful and peaceful. I always love my time there! After six days of visiting, we loaded up and headed out the door to Lockhart to see my other set of grandparents, granny and paw paw Brown and my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Jesse!
We arrived late that afternoon and everyone was very happy to see me!! The next day we met Jennifer and Todd at Smitty’s! The best BBQ in Texas! It was fun and we had a nice time visiting! The following day was our big trip to Morgan’s Wonderland but that deserves an entire blog post by itself! Sunday Uncle Jesse and Aunt Debbie arrived as well as uncle carl! I didn’t get to see our good friends Debbie and Chris as both of them had the sniffles and didn’t want to take a chance to get me sick! Granny and paw paw have a buggy too we took a cruise around the place as well! It was fun times out at Lockhart!!! We always have fun seeing everybody!
