Bye Bye, Texas!


Saying goodbye to Texas (Wednesday) was bittersweet for us. We had a great last day there, swimming, playing, sightseeing, and doing some shopping. I was, in a way, ready to come home, but in others it was such a good time, I did not want it to end.

Abbie had a great week in Texas. She enjoyed the food, a lot. She had a good time playing, meeting people, swimming, and I think she will be happy to know, in a few years, everything she did, and how much she seemed to like it.

At the pool, a funny guy came over to us and told her: "ok, it's official: you are the cutest girl in the pool!" She laughed, cooed, and waved hello. Most people we met there were extremely friendly and nice. What a refreshing experience!

The plane ride was totally fine, with Abigail playing and enjoying herself for the vast majority of it. She did fall asleep, but the booming voice of the captain abruptly cut her nap short. She just went back to playing without a problem.

Abbie was visibly and audibly excited to be back home, however: she went to check all her books and toys, to ensure that they were all there, and no one else messed around with them while she was gone. She also checked her flowers outside, and was pleased to see that they are still alive and blooming! What a cookie!

Here are some pics of her last day: playing in the bedroom with mommy's watch, and swimming in the pool with Iadada. I cannot wait for another vacation as fun as this one!
