austin

Last week Jack and I flew to Dallas for the annual TESOL convention.  Jack's parents (who are awesome) came to Upland to stay with our kids for our FIRST TRIP WITHOUT THE CHILDREN EVER.  We were excited, but not as excited as Rosie, who at the airport said, "Isn't it time for you two to go now?"


Due to some unexpected and sad circumstances (more on that later), I ended up in Arkansas with my family for the end of the conference as well as the first day of what was supposed to be a mini-vacation in Austin for Jack and me.

But I finally rejoined my husband in Texas, and we had a day and a half to spend in Austin. Though the weather dropped from the 80s to the 50s when I arrived (negating my plans of sitting by water in the sun all day), we still had fun.

Some highlights:



(Meanwhile, Upland got a solid 10-12 inches of snow.)

Everybody cool started traveling to Austin as soon as I left!


So glad you got to spend some time there and I'm super jealous of your Torchy's taco. Miss those things desperately.

It was so, so, so much fun! I love that we got to hang out and hope it's the first of many times! Much love to you guys!
