Deep in the heart of Texas!

Well, we're back. And we survived. Summer was a champ on all flights. Awesome. But who wouldn't be sucking on a boob for 2 hours straight? She slept for most of it, and when she wasn't sleeping, she was checking out her new surroundings. The stroller cover proved successful, and even though I felt kind of lame using it, I was glad I did when we landed in Milwaukee and another family with the same stroller as us found theirs with a wheel snapped off. Suckers.Highlights:Warm weather. While rather humid, the warmth was very welcome. Poor Summer was a hot sweaty mess the whole time, and her hair was matted to her head most of the time, but at least she knows what it feels like to sweat now.Good food. If there's one thing my family knows how to do, it's eating.Hanging out with my cousins and their kids.Playing games.Seeing our friends Matt & Seena Swinyard, and their son Caleb, who I knew in Florida, and now live in San Antonio.Handing off Summer to Grandma and Grandpa while I slept.SONIC!!

I don't love how pale I look next to her.4 generations of Barrios women! As my mom said, we're watering down the gene pool.Overall...definitely different traveling with a rugrat, but definitely doable. Here's to lots more trips!
