Going to Texas – last minute decision
I previously mentioned that I have no plans to travel again until November. And then I plan to drive to Texas with one, if not both, of my daughters for Thanksgiving. Well, I lied. Or rather, this was not my idea. And I’m not paying for it (just so we’re clear from the start).
Last weekend, my boyfriend and I drove to Charlotte (less than a 3 hour drive from me) for the weekend Little House Gallery In the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was great. There were a few dozen conversion trucks, scullies, and small houses for you to explore. It definitely got my mind spinning with ideas.
It was so cool to go and see and have a fun adventure with my friend. But back to the point of this post…
There’s a sale, want to come?
While we were on the road heading to Charlotte, my dad texted and offered for Princess and I to travel to Texas between semesters of school if we wanted to come. It is clear Southwest He had a sale if you bought trips with points, and he was the king of collecting points for all our trips. (I didn’t read the text while I was driving; however, I asked my friend to read it to me because I never know what my parents will need, so I try to be really responsive.)
Anyway, I immediately called Princess because I knew she was taking a week off from work in May and asked her if she wanted to spend part of her week in Texas. It was a game. So I called my dad, gave him the dates and said just book what you can find, we’re flexible with those dates. (I’ll have to quit my job as a catering coordinator, but I’ll work my other job while traveling easily.)
By the time we got to Charlotte, I had the flight information in my email. Next month, the Princess and I will spend four days in Texas. It also happens to be the week of her birthday. This will make it extra special for her and the gymnast to come together. I am happy to see my little boy.
I realize that my freedom to travel as I please, whether it’s a day trip to Charlotte or a 4-day trip to Texas, will end in the not too distant future when Beauty moves on. But I am so grateful for the freedom that being here to watch and feed the dogs provides.
Sidenote: The beauty and her boyfriend went to Texas last month. That’s why you won’t be making this trip.
