End of Day One

So we left at noon after a little drama, and we just checked into our Dallas hotel. I’m alone now, but Amyra is coming to stay in my room soon. I was supposed to share a room with my dad and stepmom, but they didn’t sleep well last night, and I think they want to go to bed very early. My dad didn’t want me to feel like I had to be quiet, so he got another room for he and Diana. So it’s just me and two queen sized beds. So Mindy is sending Amyra over. That will be more comfortable for all of them too.
The picture is of Annelyn sleeping on the way to Dallas (we fly from Dallas to Boston tomorrow). It was not a comfortable trip, but I finally got to go to Bucc-ee’s. The convenience store to end all convenience stores. I would have been over the moon had I seen that place as a kid. As it was, my nieces and nephew were certainly excited.
When we got to the hotel, Hudson walked in and said, “Oo-la-la!” It’s a nice hotel, but I’m just glad it has a fridge. I got a big salad I couldn’t finish, but will be tasty in a few hours.
Anyway, tomorrow we get up at 5:30am so I’ll be turning in early tonight!
Are there Bucc-ee’s near you?
UPDATE: Our flights were cancelled. No cruise.

I have never been close enough to visit a Buccees. That is awful about the cruise being cancelled, or the flights, rather. I suppose that means you miss your connections to the cruise. You will have to fill us in more.

That was nice of your dad to get another room...
I've heard of Buc-ee's and there is supposed to be one in Springfield but we only go to Springfield for doctor appointments. I'll have to tell Pretty I want to make a side-trip next time we go up there.
I hope you're feeling okay after the drive today.

GlAd you made it. How long is the flight? Ooh la la .that's funny Hudson Appreciates nice digs.Yes, I kind of. I have been to Bucees twice since they opened in Virginia.The news just had the fact the planes at Dallas Love Field couldn't communicate with most planes today. Only one could they contact.

@snowy22315 The radar is down in this region apparently. We’re currently trying to figure out what the heck to do.

She looks exhausted.
The last line has me shocked, but you gave me an inclining in a comment you left on a post for me yesterday.
I am going to read the post that you put up after this one.
Can I ask though, why did you drive to Dallas for your flight, is that the closest airport?

I'm so sorry about the flight cancellation. Kentucky got it's first Bucc-ee's about a year ago but it's two hours away and I havne't seen it yet.
