Glad ya'll had such a wonderful time and saw so much! It was a big thing for me to make sure I took my kids to see those things so they'd have those memories in their childhood as I did. I'm thinkin' it will make a difference someday to Spiderboy and even BittyGirl to have gone on this and other trips. I know, those trips are multiple threads in the fabric of who I have become as an adult.
On a funny note. Was talking to a friend from one of them northern states today. He was ribbing my Texas pride. Pointed out that Texans didn't invent boots. They existed long before Texas. I had a rare brainstorm. Told him us real Texans prefer to be barefoot 100% of the time but a lot of the old northern immigrants had brought in boots to Texas cause they just couldn't stand the cactus spines in their feet. I 'bout dropped the guy to the floor with that one.

Texas Pride. It's an uncontrollable thing.
