another road trip to texas
texas, by ashleyv
Tomorrow at the crack of dawn we’re leaving for yet another road trip back to Texas. I know! Every time we go we vow never to do *that* again, but we had such a great time taking it slow to get to the wedding that we’re going to do it again; taking our time getting there & back, seeing the sights, staying at cool little hotels. ACE Hotel Palm Springs – we’re looking at you! This time without truckloads of stuff to take in for safekeeping at every stop. We have a housesitter/catsitter for Mercury (who shattered a glass candleholder this very morning – have fun, Justin!), and Winston will be staying with Metro Dog. We love how much they love our little guy there!
While we’re there we’ll be getting together with family & friends for excellent Texan eats & drinks in San Antonio and Austin. Chuy’s and Alamo Cafe here we come! Oh, and Pappadeaux. Ping one of us if you want to get together – and it doesn’t have to be at any of those places. :) Looking forward to nomming some real breakfast tacos. Ok, I’m drooling. But it’s not all about food – the main reason we’re going is for our niece KT’s christening, and we can’t wait to be official godparents!
It’s not all fun and games, either – I’m taking my essential crafting supplies (only allowing myself ONE tub of goodies) to work on some new fascinators and boutonnieres, I’ll be blogging here & on owl&pear during the trip, and I’ll be catching up on processing all the photos I need to upload to flickr.
It should be relaxing to go for the first time in a year and a half and not be running around crazily preparing for the wedding! Now to pack…

I know that you’ll be very busy, but if you get a minute, I’d love to hug you!
I would love that, Rachel!!! And I’d love to meet little Lily Ruth! I’ll message you on fb. :)
Hey Ashley!!! I’d LOVE to see you and JR. Please get in touch if you are going out for drinks/food. :D
Last time I make a trip without planning ahead for meeting up with everyone! We were barely able to get together with all the family on our “people we need to see while in Texas” list! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to meet up with you guys while I was in Texas – we leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow. But we’ll be making another trip soon, and I’ll do better next time. :)
