A trip to Austin

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Austin. I got to fly on an airplane for the first time too. I hated it.

Whoever invented air travel was sick and demented. The take off was horrible and I started to scream at the beginning of both trips. Finally, Mommy pulled the window shade down and it was a tad better. I made the most of my time on that miserable airplane by taking multiple alternating sips of Mommy and Daddy's beverages and by feeding Daddy peanuts. Towards the end of the trip back to Lubbock, I allowed Mommy to slowly open the window shade so I could try find some winnies from the sky.

While I was in Austin I got to go to the Capitol, to the Lady Bird Johnson wildflower center, to the Rock Rock outlet mall, to see the apartment that I lived in for the first 3 months of life, and to Zilker park. It was a lot of fun and I lived it up to the extreme. However, when I travel, I get disoriented and can get wild and/or cranky easily. Mommy was exhausted by the end of the trip. However, I think that had more to do with the test she had to take for work and her wild curly hair that the humidity caused. Jus between you and me, I hardly recognized Mommy with what I thought was a bad 80's perm. You will notice that there are no pictures of her in this post... Anyway, if you judge a good time by mosquito bites and skinned knees, I had a great time!

A cannon. More importantly, look closely and see if you can read my shirt!
