More Taiwanese in Texas

We are home after a great trip. We had an empty seat on the first flight for Anna to play in with a very nice woman from Guam who helped entertain Anna. We were squished on our second flight and the very nice flight attendant moved another traveler so we had an extra seat again. I couldn't thank her enough.

It was a wonderful trip. We saw parts of Austin, which was not what I expected. Lots of trees and some hills, but still pretty flat compared to home. The weather was hot and humid, but not as bad as I expected.

We ate tons of great food, both at Dena's and at local restaurants, and have several new favorites, especially the queso sauce. We all blew any semblance of healthy eating. I won't even mention the wine and beer!

The girls did great together. While they are not old enough to truly play with each other, they did lots of parallel play. The biggest problem was whatever one wanted, the other had to have. Of course there were a few baby slaps and bonking each other on the head, but a few seconds later Anna would be putting the binkie in Tessa's mouth, or Tessa would be giving Anna her sippy cup.

Most of the trip we spent just hanging out and chatting. I couldn't have asked for a better trip.


Shopping at the HEB store



Margaritas and my new favorite food, queso (aka Tex-Mex cheese sauce) at a local diner




The girls loved the queso also and made quite a mess




Tessa was upset after both Dena and Matt told her "No", so she crawled up in my lap. Of course Anna had to join the party.
