Quick trip...

Scott flew to Houston last week to attend the Nape oil & gas conference and Braxton and I decided to join him last minute. Braxton absolutely loved flying in an airplane and especially loved staying at "the hotel." He and Mommy had a special day all to ourselves and just an overall fantastic trip. Thanks Dad for letting us crash your work trip.

He loved looking out the "his" window and quickly pointed out everything from the moon to the stars, and the snow, which was actually clouds in the sky -- too stinkin' cute. He was completely blown away by the whole experience which made the boring trip that much more enjoyable.

Tired out after the big flight!
Ready for some room service the next morning... Pancakes please!
Then Braxton and I journeyed over to the Galleria which was less than .5 miles from our hotel - too cool. This mall has such wonderful attractions for kids that absolutely made Braxton's day. First stop - Kiddie Playland.
Second stop - Dylan's Candy Bar.
Third stop - The Rainforest Cafe.
Fourth stop - Toy kiosk.
Fifth stop - Thirsty's.
Maybe there were a few other stops in between...
Then back to the room to PLAY.
Next stop... walk across the street to Grotto for an early dinner.
Then back to the hotel to PLAY a little more.
Next morning... back to the airport... bright and early.
Homeward bound.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was when I told Braxton he was missing school to be on the vacation with us and he said, Mom - call the school and tell them I am at "the hotel"... such a sweet, innocent, excited boy. What a joy it is to have him as my child and be blessed daily by his presence. Thank you Jesus!
