The two guys in their late 20's that jumped ahead of us in line to get on the plane (southwest...sigh) and when my mom pointed out that they were supposed to be 10 people behind us, they just ignored her. They will forever be known as "those skinheads" by my mom, even though they both looked clean cut...but one of them was bald. She thought those skinheads might hunt her down for giving them a bad time.
The 7 Ladies in the Las Vegas airport who looked like they just touched down from India. Their accents were thick, they were taking pictures of each other all over the airport (I took a group picture for them thinking I was being so helpful to the novice american tourists.) and even a picture of one of them holding a dollar bill (american money!!). As I boarded our flight, I passed one of them sitting at the front of the plane and she thanked me for taking their picture. I asked if they were headed to Dallas (our flight was continuing on to dallas after lubbock). And she was like "no, we're from Lubbock." Ha.
After Rob's family picked us up from the airport, we were driving to their house on the freeway and a car came zooming along in the fast lane...in the opposite direction!
watching mystery science theater...and only now that I am looking up the particular movie that we watched, do I realize it was rated "R". Good thing my brother fast-forwarded lots of it.
Going to the science museum with the kids
Trying shrimp again, and re-affirming that I don't like it.
winning the "bird watching trivia game" even though I feel I know the least about birds in our family (thank you, life list cards...and Rob for the hint on the Northern Cardinal).
Playing games with Andrew every free second... "Aunt lissa...play game me". Then he'd grab my hand and fake grunt while trying to help me up off the couch.
Learning what playas are at the science museum and then seeing millions of them on our flight from Lubbock to Dallas.
The singing flight attendant: "we are cle-eared for depa-arture...you are getting sle-epy...very sleepy. you don't want anything to drink. you are not hungry for peanuts...the lights are dimming... ok now stop annoying us and let us go to sleep."
Discovering that Southwest offers complimentary hot chocolate.
Flying through 5 different airports for one trip to Lubbock.

I didn't catch any spelling errors. That either means you're getting better or I'm getting worse. What about getting your horrible southwestern style pocketbook thing? Where does that fit in? Also, I don't think I was mentioned in this post. Neither was Lillie. I think we should feel slighted!
So many good moments. The 7 Ladies are classic in their picture taking. And I'm definitely partaking in the hot chocolate next week when I fly.. such a good find.
We enjoyed having you guys come! Sorry about the rated R movie, I didn't realize those had ratings! Good thing it was so darn funny!
It sounds like you had a great trip. My favorite is the tourists who were actually Americans.
I am sad I didn't get to see you while you were here. Guess the singles ward was more happening :) Gotta love Southwest.
well, I was hoping it would be more happening. And it was, if you count sitting in the clerk's office watching my sister enter vting names :)
