Summer has definitely arrived. Teenagers sleeping late and 7 year old running in and out and in and out and in and out with her friends. Those were the days, weren't they?
Mark and I had a fantastic time in San Antonio! The travel could have been better, luggage was lost (and found, whew!) on the way out and our 4 - 5 hour journey home turned into 13 hours. What a day! We were laughing about the people we met on the way back who were basically in the same boat. There was a lady we had known 15 years ago at a former church who had gone out to California to get her daughter and 18 month old grandchild - they gave up at DFW, rented a car and drove home. There was the photographer and daughter who had been out to cover the Miss Universe(?) pageant - we flew out before they did. There was the golfer from Simi Valley, CA who was coming to Jackson to play in a tournament - he flew out with us. And then, there was the bowling team from V'burg who had been out to Reno, NV to play in a tournament that lasts for 6 months. The father and son from the team flew home with us, the rest stayed overnight and flew out the next morning. Wow! I'm so glad I don't have to fly a lot!
Oh my goodness! I almost forgot! The delay was almost and maybe even worth it. Here's why:
Mark and I are standing at the desk waiting to get some info on our status. Mark looks behind me and says, "Hey, that guy looks like Curtis! (24)". I look and say, "Hey! That guy IS Curtis."
Mark: "Are you sure?"
Robin: leans over and says "Hey, aren't you Curtis?"
Guy: "What?"
Robin: "Aren't you Curtis, you know, from 24?"
Guy: smiles and says, "Yea"
Robin: gush, gush, gush "We just love you on that show! (ooops! is that proper? He was killed off.)
Guy: "Thanks"
So, while he's asking about a flight, I tell Mark that he's just got to take my picture with him. As he turns to walk away I stop him (very politely, of course) and ask for a picture and he obliges. Oh wow! That was cool!
Oh yeah, San Antonio, great time, just great! Wonderful hotel, wonderful food and wonderful weather! We did lots and lots of walking to try to offset all of the eating. My favorite? Guacamole made fresh right there at our table!
OK, enough of that. I've got to continue to get caught up on all of the blogs - y'all have been busy!
Blog on!

Glad you're back safe and sound. You ABSOLUTELY must post the picture! I'm a huge fan of 24 too!

I have traveled more this year than I have in the past 3 yrs combined. So far, no lengthy layovers. Only famous person I've seen so far is Nick Lachey, my coworker and I almost ran him over in Cincinnati back in April.
I am with you on the glad I don't have to travel a lot. Especially after my recent airport experience. And I wasn't even the one flying!!!! Anyway, I can't wait to tell Chad that you met someone off 24. That is his all time fave show. I have to be sure and record it every Monday nite during tax season. Post the pic if you can!!! :-)
Sounds like you had a great time! I want to see the picture also.
We are getting ready for the wedding - 11:00 this morning. Hope Bridezilla took a Zanax! JK :-)

Sounds like y'all had great adventures :) Glad you're back, safe & sound. I don't think I've ever seen a celebrity in person & it's good he was gracious enough to pose with you in a pic. I like guacamole, too.
