I not only survived the Calgary Stampede – I’m feeling fantastic. I often get quite exhausted and the stress takes a toll on me from an intense short term contract. However, I came into this 12 day contract with a different attitude. I had a blast and am excited to escape with my amazing husband for a few days.
We’re Texas bound this morning! John and I are headed south for a hot summer visit. We’ll see family, friends, and soak in the rays. John has been reading lots the last couple weeks…
Today, he was enjoying The Starbucks Experience. It seemed rather fitting because I won a bet and he bought me Starbucks for breakfast!!
We normally fly to DFW directly, however this trip - we tried Continental Airlines. They were fantastic! You actually get meals included for free – so we were offered breakfast. You also get FREE movies. We would highly recommend this airline.
We connected in Houston and enjoyed Mexican food!! Surprise, surprise ;)
Pappasitos, true authentic Tex Mex - love Texas fast food experiences. (You may recall that we ate at another location last trip). 
We picked up our car and the temperature gage said 41C (105F) – yikes!
Despite having a fabulous week at the Calgary Stampede, we crashed when we arrived at our hotel and caught up on some much needed sleep. Tonight we met up with my girlfriend Kattie from University.
Our preference for dinner – Mexican of course ;) We had a fantastic feast at On The Border.
After stuffing ourselves with amazing cuisine, we went to Wal Mart to walk our dinner off. I love that its open 24 hours a day. Can you believe that it is still 38C (100F) at 10pm at night?
Night time – big day tomorrow at the waterpark!!
