Texas - 2024 - Day 1 - Travel to Austin - Sept 29, 2024

 We were only home for a few days, and back to the airport to head to see our friends in Austin Texas.  We got up super early 4:45, picked up by 5:15 and off to the airport.  Getting our bag checked and through security was a breeze.  We headed to the lounge were we had a little breakfast before heading on our first flight to Calgary.

AA slept the whole way, while Lola watched a movie.  Pretty uneventful.




Once in Calgary, we headed to the Elevation Lounge as we had a 3 hour layover which was extended 20 minutes as we arrived in Calgary early.  We had another breakfast, Lola spilt her whole tea on the table, and we relaxed in the lounge.  It was pretty busy when we first got there, but seemed to empty out as time went by.  We ate our omelettes and hash browns, while AA had a smootie and Lola had a bowl of fruit.  They also enjoyed some toast.

We then headed through security and customs to go onto the international side.  Once there we found a few snacks for Lola, and waited to board the plane.  It was very full, but no issues on the flight.

AA had a Mr. Noodle and Lola ate her eggs, beef jerky and Veggies she has purchased.  While on the flight Lola tried to blog from the last trips they were on where she didn't finish.  She wrote a lot of the text, but was unable to post as the internet wasn't working on the plane.  AA read his book, and watched his eye lids.












Once arriving in Austin, it was a zoo at the airport.  We finally got our bag and then watched the chaos outside while DD waited in the long line of cars to pick us up.  We headed back to the house to see the rest of the clan.  B and T decided to hid from us, but quickly came out to give big hugs.  It has been a whole year since we have been at their house, and they had to show us all the things that have changed.  They were pretty excited.  




After a quick tour we headed to Top Golf for Dinner and some hitting. The food was enjoyed by all, and we had a great time golfing and spending time together.  Lola loved the new Top Golf exclusive club called The Sure Thing Club. 






The first standard top golf game, DD won, while AA, MBMell and Lola all tied.   The second game called block party, Lola got top spot, with MBMell not far behind.  We had a lot of fun!







After supper and golf we headed to Whole foods for a few items for Lola, and then home to shower, and bed for the kids. The adults hung out on the couch and got some things done, and just chatted.  

We have exciting plans tomorrow... see if we can get out of the house at a decent time. 

Night, Lola.
