Yesterday Adam and I flew from Provo to Dallas. Dallas wasn't our exact destination, but we could fly from Provo! It feels worth it to drive a little on the other side.
Us in the Provo airport.
We rented a car and stopped at two Buccee's and were going to stop in Waco and go to The Silos again, but chose to press on.
Adam and I decided what we could compare Buccee's to.
Buccee's has a:
- Country/Christian/home decor section like Cracker Barrel
- Hunting/outdoor apparel like Cabella's
- Licensed merch like the Disney store
- Their own brand of food/snacks like Trader Joe's
- Brisket and pulled pork and sides/desserts like a BBQ restaurant
- Big like Costco
- Good snacks and drinks like Maverik
- A lot of bathroom stalls like a big airport
- More gas pumps than anywhere else
(We had time to draw all the comparisons.)
We ended up in San Antonio. Adam used an upgrade (a perk of all the traveling that guy does) and we landed in a posh room that is about twice the size of our apartment 30 years ago. We were splashing out for the big 30th anniversary!
This was the beautiful lobby:
The hotel room has a living room, dining room, bedroom, and 1 1/2 bathrooms!
Adam took some phone calls and I did some of my online yearly training (protecting student data and blood borne pathogens--ask me anything!).
We were a couple of blocks from the Alamo. Adam sent this to our kids:
I thought how disorienting it would be for Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie if they knew there was a Ripley's Believe it or Not, a wax museum and the neon signs of a Mirror Maze across the street from the Alamo.
People are weird.
We went to the river walk and it was so lovely! People are also pretty awesome to build something like that.
After that, we went to a Mediterranean restaurant and had dinner with one of Adam's employees and his wife. They had chosen the restaurant and it was such a good choice! We loved it. Where have barberries been all my life?!? We spent a few hours visiting with them and even took the conversation over dessert at a nearby baklava place.
Today we have more meetings for Adam and back to school online training (yay....) for me as well as more exploring in San Antonio. We'll head back to Austin tonight.
I feel very fortunate to have this time with Adam. I feel very fortunate to be married to him. What a blessing eternity is.
