We Made It!

We've arrived safe and sound in Texas ... pretty much problem free (my ears won't pop -- which was pretty painful for about 40 minutes and now it's just annoying! other than that, it's been smooth sailing!)

It's about 80 and sunny right now. Feels like Florida! And there are palm trees!

The highway system leaves a bit to be desired (I'm rather fond of zoning laws now that I see what not having them creates! Strip club, day care, car dealership, restaurant, factory ... all in a row. All in favor of zoning laws, say "I"!)

We're staying at a Residence Inn Marriott, so we have a fully stocked kitchen, a living room, and your typical bed and shower ;) I'm looking forward to having home cooked meals while we're here! The hotel is in a town called Webster, which has a mall and nearly every other store you can imagine... including Barnes and Noble AND Borders. About 5 minutes apart, max. My love for shopping may need to be fixed before June. And it looks like we'll be trading in Bed, Bath & Beyond for Linens 'N Things? Oh, and there's a Starbucks in walking distance from our room. I think this might be a blessing depending on how early our days start. There's also a basketball court and a swimming pool nearby, so we can hear kids having a great time. So far, I like it.

But we sure aren't in Virginia anymore!

Time for dinner and a grocery run. More to come!
