During President's Day weekend, I went out to Texas to visit my husband. He had arrived there a few days before, so I went out to help him get settled into his new place and to spend some time together before he started work.
I had work earlier in the day, then had to rush out to make my flight. Luckily I had a little downtime at the airport, so I enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. :)
If you haven't seen these before, Starbucks has these great snack boxes. They're perfect for plane trips! This one comes with 3 different kinds of cheese, crackers, apple slices, and an almond/cranberry trail mix.
Landing in Texas at night was so pretty. The lights in the city seemed to go on forever. I guess that's one of the benefits of no mountains!
I brought some photos of back home for him to hang in his apartment.
While out shopping, I saw this. I think it was a sign (literally) that we needed to run Wine & Dine!
On the flight back, I almost missed my connection in Phoenix. As I ran through the airport, I got a glimpse of the mountains outside. I'd forgotten how beautiful Arizona is! Something to be admired from inside the air conditioned airport, though. ;)
On the plus side, when I booked my ticket, there were only middle seats left. I opted not to pick a seat, honestly I didn't care where I sat. When I got my ticket, I had an aisle seat in the first row behind first class! Yay! Lots of leg room that I didn't really need...
I found these pillow cases at Marshalls. I had intended for us to each keep one, but since he needed bedding, he has both.
This was my first trip to Texas and I really enjoyed it! The weather was nice, people are friendly and the food was yummy! Traveling alone is definitely different. I did enjoy the alone time. I can't remember the last time I was able to read uninterrupted like that! :)
Glad you enjoyed some Texas time! When is your next visit? Did your hubby get an apmt close to work?
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious that you literally saw a sign that said Wine & Dine! Love it!
Traveling alone is fun, I actually used to do it a lot. I have to say, though, since Robert and I have been together, it's awesome having a travel buddy! :0)
He'll be coming back out to CA in April for a friend's wedding and also to run our local half marathon. Just happened to land on the same weekend. I'll probably go out to visit him in Texas in May.
DeleteI may or may not have showed it to by husband and said "It's a sign!" Literally. ;)
It was nice to not have to worry about anything but my stuff. But then again, I didn't take rolling luggage on the off chance I couldn't heave it into the overhead compartment. Lol.
I'm glad you got to visit him! And yes- AZ is lovely. This time of year. lol Ask me again in 3 months!
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, after you train in AZ, you will prepared for running in any kind of temps! :)
