We went on an adventure today...

We headed out at 6:20am and drove North for 6 hours...


I gave Michael the point and shoot camera and told him to take photos since I was driving in traffic...can you guess what city skyline that is?

How about Dallas Texas? It's been 12 years since I had been to Dallas and Michael had never been. He was so excited and when he saw the skyline he was in awe!! What was our reason for going? Well we had a good motive...yes we did! How about visiting a little girl called Molly!

Scarlett my Jack Russel has been gone for over 4 years (I think?) and just the past few months I realized how much I miss having a little dog around and I do love Jack Russels...so much energy! Enough energy to keep up with Michael and go on nature walks with me! I saw a photo of Molly earlier this week and fell in love. Of course there was another Jack Russel fan living in the area and she went to visit Molly and messaged me about how sweet she was, thanks Rita! I decided we needed to make a trip to Dallas...One to meet Molly and two to show Michael Dallas...and guess what?

Molly seemed to like us and Michael fell in love!

I know I don't look happy in this photo but I was! I'm exhausted from the 6 hour drive and the extreme temps...very tired!! Molly made herself right at home on my lap!!
Michael just came over to me and said he can't wait...I said wait for what? He said to bring Molly home! Awww....We had to leave Molly at the vets office this evening, sigh! The hotel doesn't accept pets and Molly had a rattle snake vaccine today and they wanted to keep an eye on her in case she had a reaction to it. But we'll be over there first thing in the morning to get her and take her home!

Rita met us at the hotel lobby and took us out to eat, thank you Rita. Michael made himself right at home in the Lobby...(I'm a wee bit embarrassed with his behaviour, ugh).....

Rita also got Molly a goodie bag, too sweet! We haven't opened it and are waiting so Molly can open it. I think she'll love it!

He's been all over the hotel and I'm having a really hard time keeping up with him, sheesh...Here he's getting in the truck to get his goggles and flippers...headed to the pool!

Enjoying the pool

Bed HOG!! I'm beginning to wonder if he is going to share? He seems to be comfy!
Tomorrow we are going to pick up Molly, head over to the Dallas Cowboy Stadium for some photos and then home! Hopefully we'll beat the Tropical Storm. Fred is home so he's taking care of a few things just in case. I see they've changed it's path to Corpus Christi but that means we may get the North edge, where the rain and wind are the worse, ekk...I feel for the poor cotton farmers who are in the middle of the harvest, this will ruin their crop!

Night all...

Woo Hoo...gotta love a road trip although Dallas is my second least Favorite Texas city to drive in...Houston being the first but Molly looks like she was worth the trip! Hope you guys have a great time and a safe journey home.
