This year Mark and I headed to Texas for a roping clinic together. This time I was participating. My parents offered to stay with the kids for the week. I always like going new places and vacationing, but I really dislike the travel part of it. I am not a big fan of flying. When I was younger and even back in College, flying was neat and fun. Now I kind of dread it. The planes are small and stuffy, I can't walk without ducking my head, there is never enough room for your carry on. All I had was a backpack I take every time we fly and they made me stow it away. I was not happy, it had my snacks, gum, notebooks magazines, and books. I cannot handle turbulence and I get motion sickness. Coming home from our trip in Ft. Worth, Mark and I were the unlucky chosen ones to have to go through the security body scanners. I even had to be checked in the bra area...not cool. I also don't like tha fact that we are leaving the kids behind. I know I will miss them and I always worry. We left Iowa and arrived in Texas around 5:30 PM. Iowa has been in the 40’s and Texas was only in the 50’s, so there wasn’t a big temperature jump. Our first night in the big state we ate at a Tex-Mex restaurant and stayed at a hotel.
