Long weekend calls for some weekend travels! We are off to Texas to visit the gang and experience more of texas than just Austin. In Florida MBMell promised AA space in Texas, so heading to Houston and Gaveleston with the texas crew!
Today's events:
-taxi took us to the airport at about 6:00am
- Winnipeg airport was pretty non busy when we got there, checked our bags, cruised through security in minutes then found the long lime at Tim's
- boarded the plane, taxied to the threshold and waited. First time for everything as we made a u turn to go to deicing.... it's may, who would have thought we would have to de ice. False alarm... back to the runway.
- flight had lots of turbulence, so beverage service came after we had finished our on board movies. Lola watched Sing with her new headphones won at a social a few weeks back, while AA watched the new XXX movie.
- then to listen to some music while we wait to decent into Toronto. Lola found the best of rafi! It sure ,made her sing, smile and dance in her seat! What a great playlist
- We landed and headed to the good life that is in Toronto airport. It was great we ran we stretched and showered! It felt good to be active in between our flights.
- Lunch was next, we were starving !! We stopped at Wahlburgers for a pint and some burgers! The food was good but I think AA was a little disappointed with the onion rings.
- on the next flight AA upgraded us to business class. Lola had never experienced it before. We enjoyed our beverages, leg room and Lola got a fantastic fruit plate instead of the meal provided. A little cat nap and 1.5 movies later we had arrived in Austin. 
- rental car and off to see our friends! Some construction slowed us a little but we made it just fine.
- arriving to find MBM waiting for us outside we were so excited to see her while DD hadn't made it home from work yet. It was so nice to catch up. The Twinkies were so excited to show off all their new toys and tricks since the last time we saw them in Flordia. It is amazing how much vocabulary they have learnt since February as well as how much personality and expression. These next couple of days are going to be fun!
- once DD arrived we packed up transferred the car Seats into the van and headed to the famous gas station restaurant Rudy's. The food was great we ordered a little too much but it was awesome!
-The girls caught up while the boy's played video game and later fell asleep.
It's road trip day tomorrow!
Night Lola
