Our Trip Part II

We got off the plane and made our way towards baggage claim, we saw our friends and I am not sure who walked quicker the girls or the mommies. For all of us it was as though distance has not been between us, which made me cry of course. Her hubby followed them there so he could leave from there go to work, so we all headed for lunch, since my bags would not arrive for another two hours. Before we left the airport I spoke with the baggage claim representative and he informed me that if luggage goes around more than once they pull it off and keep it behind the counter (which is good to know for future reference). I described my bags to him, and he told me he would go ahead and pull them in case we weren't back in time. Again this airline is VERY helpful!

After lunch we headed back to the airport, where indeed he held my luggage behind the counter. After getting everything loaded we headed for home. The drive was just beautiful and unlike anything Texas has!!

Our day was spent with the girls playing and the mommies talking. It was great seeing the girls interact with each other, and it was amazing to see how big their youngest child had gotten (she was 9 months when they moved 9 months ago).

The next day we decided to venture out and I got to go to my first Fred Mayer, holy smokes can I just say I would shop there daily if we had them here in Texas. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Fred Mayer it is very similar to a Wal Mart with the exception that they sell name brand clothes and furniture, as well as more upscale things. Think Dillards or Macy's combined with an HEB and a Target. My poor friend had to practically drag me out of store when it was time to check out. We also ventured to Costco, which is just like any other Costco except it isn't in Texas! Hehe.

The next day.......
