Our First Visitors: A Little Bit of RVA in TX

We were so excited to see three RVA folks this week! On Sunday we met my friend Melissa and her hubby near Dallas for breakfast. They live in San Antonio, but were in town for a birthday celebration. I hadn't seen Melissa in nearly two years, so it was good to catch up. We're looking forward to making the trip down to San Antonio soon.

On Tuesday, Grandma McDonald flew through DFW on her way to Oregon for work, so we got to visit with her during a long layover. We stopped in Grapevine, had an early lunch/snack in Las Colinas and drove by the stadiums. Traffic is usually a nightmare, but it was so light that day that in hindsight we could have come home for a more relaxing visit. And this afternoon Nigel and I returned to the airport to have a quick lunch with Grandma McDonald as she headed back home to RVA. In addition to lots of hugs and her carry-on bag (which Nigel loved to pull behind him), Grandma McDonald also brought with her a Wii game for Nigel. It's perfect for his age because he simply moves the controller and doesn't have to push any buttons. We're still pretty limiting with screen time here at Chez McDonald, but this is definitely a cool thing.
