Since Jason and his Dad were going to be working on hanging new siding on our house, Brinley and I headed up to Dallas to visit Amanda and Kevin and see their new house! We woke up Saturday morning and drove to Dallas. I woke up with a horrible cold, I think because it was 75 degrees Thursday and 40 degrees Friday!!! Needless to say I drove with my Kleenex box in the passenger seat! Brinley rode really well. This was my first time to travel with her by myself! For the first 2 hours, she looked out the window, ate, and pointed to "coos" (aka- cow). After a brief stop for gas, diaper change, and stretching of our legs, we started the next stage of our trip. I had borrowed my mom's portable DVD player for the car and bought 101 Dalmatians, so that occupied Brinley for the rest of the trip!
We got to Dallas around lunchtime, so we had lunch and headed to the Dallas Aquarium. Brinley absolutely loved the aquarium (even though she missed her nap!). She oohed everything, especially the penguins and sting rays! She was also excited to see the jaguar (or as she screamed, "kitty"!). After the aquarium, we headed to the mall to eat dinner and pick out a flower girl dress (Brinley is going to be a flower girl in Amanda/Kevin's wedding in June). We got back to their house and Brinley passed out from exhaustion....she didn't even mind she was sleeping in her pack n play! By this time, I was extremely sick and Amanda was so sweet to get out at 10 at night to get me some NyQuil!!!
Sunday, we got up and went to look for shoes to match the flower girl dress. We grabbed a quick lunch and headed back to Houston! Brinley slept for 3 1/2 of the 4 hour drive! I think she was worn out from all the excitement! We got home around Dinner time and have been taking it easy today. I am feeling a little better, but I am still relying on drugs to keep me breathing!
Here are some pictures from our wonderful time in Dallas!

Kristina...you can really see how fast Brinley's hair is growing in these pics...I love it!! I hope you feel better soon, hopefully we will see you tomorrow...(which is now today, since I am on here so late!)
I agree about Brinley's hair. It also looks lighter in that picture, too. Looks like ya'll had a wonderful weekend
