Deep in the Heart
OF TEXAS
My husband...Sang that song... For 4 days STRAIGHT!
I am no longer a fan...Of the song...Not Patrick!
Recently, Patrick and I were able to slip away unnoticed for a 3 day jaunt to Austin Texas. It was Heaven...If Heaven were set at 110 degrees Fahrenheit! Just being away with him, to snuggle and talk and...SLEEP! We SLEPT so darn much in Texas it was like being in HEAVEN.
Now...for my story.
Patrick and I left at 5:20 AM for the Cleveland airport. Both of us having less than 2 hours of sleep. I cried on the way there, because I already missed my babies.
Once we got there, my Dad drove away and we went into a completely empty airport to check in. Patrick informs the woman at the counter that the kiosk must be broken, because it won't let him check us in. She is more than willing to help, and asks where we are headed. We say Austin, and she says, the 10 am flight...No, the 7 am flight we reply. Well, we don't have a 7 am flight...

WHAT??!??!
At this point I rip the itinerary from Patrick's hands, look at it for -point 2 seconds- and in the most hideous, " I could completely kick my husband's ass right now" voice I say It leaves from AKRON CANTON PATRICK!!!
Next 5 minutes---Verbal Abuse
10 minutes after that---Daggers jetting from my eyeballs wishing he would turn around and they would hit him.
5 minutes after that---I replaced the daggers with the most apologetic, "honey it was a mistake...We all make them," face and I allowed him to make himself feel terrible without my help the rest of the day.
We then spent the morning with our children and Jiddo having breakfast and spent our afternoon and evening in various airports hoping and praying to arrive in Austin at some point!

WE MADE IT!
We finally arrived in Austin and my Uncle Cam picked us up. He was our unofficial tour guide the whole time we were there. He took us to some great bars, awesome restaurants and we got to listen to some great live music! Every minute was so relaxing, but I missed Connor and Jordyn so much my body actually felt sick. They, however had a great time while we were away!
Our trip home was even more dramatic...You don't even want to know!

Me and Cam after arriving in Austin. I actually think I was sleeping in that picture
We drank a lot of beer while in Austin
Chef James Holmes, the owner of Olivia in Austin. One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not to downplay the rest of the food (check out their menu), but they make the WORLD'S GREATEST FRENCH FRIES!

You are the cutest! I'm so happy for you that you take romantic get-a-ways with Patrick! You deserve it!
I can't believe you showed up at the wrong airport! What a nightmare!
