she was super excited for this trip. not only does she love going to see grandma and grandpa, this kid sure loves her some airplane rides. such a little traveler.
getting to the airport and boarding the plane was uneventful and easy. as always, we were stuck at the very back of the plane. but this time, we were seated in rows of two and right in front of each other. after takeoff, which is my very least favorite part of traveling, the frenzied activity of the day caught up with me. at least i didn't disturb anybody with my snoring, since all the engine noise drowned it out.

yee-haw!
Next time you're in Dallas, you've got to try the BBQ at Pecan Lodge. It's in the food shed building at the Dallas Farmer's Market and it is SOOOOO good!
