San Antonio

I spent the weekend, well just about 48 hours in San Antonio visiting my cousin and his family. I have never been to see them before and I thought that it was about time. They just had a new baby about 8 weeks ago so it worked out great to get to see the baby and spend time with their 5 year old daughter Maddie. I've only see my cousin once in the last 12 years and that was for about 3 hours a 1 1/2 years ago. Most of my memories of him are as a punkass teenager. It was amazing to see him as a husband and father and to see how much he loves his family. I email his wife Katherine all the time. We have been keeping in touch for about 3 years now. She and I are very much a like and we just get a long very well. I enjoyed getting to go and visit on my own and getting a break from my kids and husband just for a short time. Airport security didn't bother me either. I'll have to remember to where slip on shoes the next time, but if taking my shoes off before going through security helps then by all means I will do it. Everything seemed to go very smoothly I have to say. I flew on three different airlines and three very different planes. All in all I have to say that I had a great weekend. Now back to work.
