Yeeehaaaaa!!

TEXAS!! So as most of you know from my last post we got back late Friday night from our week in San Antonio TX. We had a blast! It was so stinking hot but that didn't stop us. The kids visited with their friends and played their little hearts out while the Mommies chatted, planted, decorated, chatted, had our morning coffee/dr.pepper, chatted, and shopped. One afternoon we even put the kids in room time, watched a movie and ate ice cream!! Now that is what I call vacation! Mark was a trooper watching the kids three times while Sara and I went on a late night shopping trips. Lucy and Graci were rarely seen with the exception of putting on a show or two for Sara and I. We all took a trip to the Alamo and the river walk. Apparently all of our rain in St Louis followed us down there, our third night there they had their first rain in months! We had so much fun, so I thought I would share some of my fav's and not so much fav's about the state of Texas.
Lets start with Fav's
My friend lives there, Taco Cabana, Double Daves, The bbq place I can't remember, the texas made ice cream brand I can't remember, Yes I know the last four things have been food but really it was all that good!, the sky (it really is bigger in Texas!), the speed limit (80 mph people!!), how kind the people are, ladies are still treated like ladies there (I didn't open my own door once there), most of the Targets are Super Targets!!,  all the historical buildings, SOME of the landscapes, and last but not least the cowboy hats!! (I love these things, I have always wanted it to be acceptable for me to wear one out and it is there!!! and you don't have to be going line dancing or mowing the lawn!
My not so fav's about Texas
My friend lives THERE, the heat, everything is dusty (my personal hell), my feet are always dirty when I wear flip flops, it is too hot to wear anything other than flip flops, spf 60 is not enough to keep me or Lucy from getting sun burned down there, the design of the roads (I just don't get it), that you can drive for hours and see no gas stations, it is really hard to have a garden there unless you like cactus, no one wears much clothing (reference heat), they don't have Aldi's, and my friend lives THERE!
So that about sums up Texas for this newly found out, true blue mid west girl.
Pictures to come!
