Texas Trip Part III

While the final portion of our trip ended up being more fun than planned. Monday and Tuesday we spent lazing around the pool and hanging out watching movies after the mosquitoes came out. Wednesday we were scheduled to go home. We spent the day in San Antonio at the Alamo and eating a delicious Mexican lunch. We headed out to the airport, got through security and went to get on our plane, when we were told that the plane would be delayed. So... we waited 2 hours for our delayed plane to be fixed, and then were told our flight was canceled! To add to that, there are no flights they could find to get us home, Wednesday or Thursday, so the airline decided to fly all the passengers to Phoenix, put us up in a hotel over night, and get us back home from Phoenix somehow on Thursday. Well, lucky for Jacqui and I, we happen to know a great guy in Phoenix... So it was an unexpected but very welcome trip to visit Uncle Levi! We took him out to dinner when we got there late in the evening. He let us borrow his car to drive around Phoenix the next day while he was at work. We found a local zoo and decided to spend our day there. Jacqui loved the animals and ended up having quite a conversation with an ostrich... What a fun time! They had some very pretty animals and some fun rides. There was a sky ride, log ride, train ride (African Safari), a petting zoo, and some great exhibits. Jacqui and I had so much fun all day walking around in the heat. We got to meet up with Uncle Levi one more time for dinner before our flight, and finally caught a plane home.

It was a great trip full of fun times and surprises. We both had a blast and are so excited to plan our next trip. Jacqui will be going to Disney Land with Grandma Quack Quack and Grandpa Al at the end of June and is pretty excited about that. What great memories and wonderful time spent with family.
