Hey everyone! This blog is long overdue! Ape and I have been home since June 26th! We flew back from Austin, TX. It was a peaceful, 3 1/2 hour smooth flight via Jet Blue (the best airline in the world)!!! Anyway, where do I begin? Hmm.... Oh my....Texas....Texas....Texas....Texaaaaaaaaaas. Yee-ha-yikes. When you are in Amarillo you don't really feel like you are IN TEXAS. Sure, the drive through the panhandle makes you feel like you should be in farmer jeans chewing wheat, but to actually BE in Amarillo you kinda feel like you are at some no-name city with lots of chain restaurants.

They have wind here like this Eastern born family doesn’t know and she had an absolute blast. Ed worked through day but we wanted to get to do something more involved before we left the city so we traveled to Palo Duro Canyon (the largest canyon in TX). It was a beautiful day and as we traveled the 75 mile/hr speed limit on the two ... read more

After a 7 hour night flight from Heathrow to JFK - NY, with continous sunshine, and me trying to sleep on the 3 seats I had.. jammie... I suddenly saw a pink, red and orange band connecting the horizon with the end of the earth. I looked down and saw New York as we flew round to land. It was everything I never expected it to be. Lots of water with pockets of land and then there below me I saw Manhatten Island and the skyline that is so familiar. The city looked so peaceful from the air with its lights twinkling, and I thought everything looks so much better in the dark as it marks the character of people's conceptions of New York. We landed and waited at the airport for about 2 hours before ... read more
