Day 1 - Texas Trip : Arrival

Hello Logan,

Our trip to Texas was tiring, but fun. Our flight there was uneventful and everything went fine. We arrived earlier than expected, and was picked up by your Granduncle Tom. He was nice enough to scramble (big time!) to find your brother a car seat, get us a hotel (along with other relatives and friends), and really took care of us. He even lent us his GPS device, which was tremendously helpful.

When we arrived at Granduncle and Grandauntie's house, your brother was fascinated by a couple of things: a cute doggie named Oreo, a piano and a keyboard. Those three things kept him happy for a very long time. I never thought your brother would enjoy playing the piano or the keyboard. But then, the keyboard has everything that he likes, lights, buttons and music. He was also so in love with Oreo that it was totally adorable. He was a little apprehensive at first, but was able to warm up to Oreo, and Oreo to him after a while.

Later in the afternoon, we headed out to a playground/park nearby. They had this huge play structure, and a large area with many ducks. We spent almost an hour there. Your brother, despite being tired from the flight, ran around like crazy. He was just walking up and down the play structure to the different 'towers'. I had to really encourage him to try other parts of the structure. Grandaunt Cerina brought some bread, and we were able to feed the ducks and pigeons by the water.

Dinner was served by your Great Grandma from Taiwan, Grandma, and two Grandaunts. A lovely home-cooked meal enjoyed by all four generations. After dinner, we went back to our hotel and totally crashed! We were so tired.



This ends the first day of our trip.
