Travels

l
September definitely flew by! We were out of town for about the last week and a half of September, then home for two days, and then headed back out of town for four days. Our September trip was to Texas and Oklahoma. We drove to the Dallas area and spent several days with some of our best friends and their kids. It had been 20 months since we last visited them, so they had not met John Harrison. Our friends' kids are 9, 6, and 2 1/2---John Harrison absolutely loved them....especially all the attention he got from the 6 and 9 year olds. John Harrison and our friends' 2 1/2 year old are about 13 months apart so it was fun seeing what John Harrison will be like developmentally and socially this time next year. After leaving Dallas, we drove to south Oklahoma and visited David's Grammy, Great Aunt, aunts, uncles, and cousins for a few days. Then, we drove to San Antonio so that I could meet people at the company that bought our business (David also worked some in a consulting role while we were there). Everyone made such a point to welcome us with great hospitality, invited us over for dinner, and showed us around San Antonio. The picture above shows John Harrison and me outside a historic restaurant in San Antonio called the Geunther House, which used to be part of the Pioneer company flour mill. We also walked along the river walk in downtown San Antonio, ate some Tex-Mex food, and visited the Alamo. John Harrison did really well on the trip, slept well, and behaved as well as could be expected. The long carrides were a bit trying, but we all managed:). After being home for two days, David and I headed out of town for a four day trip (primarily business related). David's parents kept John Harrison; this trip represented the first time that I had been away from John Harrison for several days. We missed our little boy so much, but greatly appreciated David's parents being willing to keep John Harrison. I don't think I realized how much I missed John Harrison until we were back at home with him.
