4.25.17 Dallas, TX to Austin, TX

Three of us woke up early and stayed up to try to get a move on it early. But it failed since Ella would not wake up.  Dave and I took turns going down to grab breakfast and bring it back up so that she could still sleep.

Near 9, Dave went to Target. We had a small list.  I felt like he took a long time and Ella was still not up and ready. It took her a long time to get up and then a long time to get ready.

We took Dave to the National Videogame Museum and then I took Ella and Miles to the park.  We went to Frisco Commons Park or also Hope Park on the map. It was so hot that it was hard to spend 2 hours there. Ella even asked near the end to go to the car.   Miles and Ella played.  Ella made 2 new friends spinning.  Later she made 2 other friends. Miles and Ella were swinging for a little but it was just too hot.  They went down the slide together. It was a long walk from the bottom to the top so that killed some time. Ella would get ready to go and then I'd sit Miles down between her legs. She would hold him and they'd go down. He loved it.  Sometimes he didn't smile going down but smiles right after. And when he was about to go down again he'd smile.

We went to Hard Eight BBQ place for lunch. Ella was so excited to get some cut fruit! The food was so good.Dave says this was the best food the entire trip.

Then we were on our way to Austin.

The supercharger near Waco, TX was in a bakery parking lot. They had a sign that said to show your Tesla key and you'd get free coffee. Dave went in and got his free coffee but then also spent $36.

We got to the hotel and then went out to dinner. We went to a Tex-Mex place.  My mouth was on fire. My nose was running. But it was good. Miles was so tired so that made it tough. Heading out to dinner near 8 PM is rough! Ella ordered her own drink and her own meal. She wouldn't even show us the kids menu. Then when the meal was over the waiter asked us if she got her dessert or if it was too late then asked which dessert she wanted. We didn't even know it came with dessert because we never saw the menu.  She got vanilla ice cream. Dave made her leave before she was done because he said she was taking too long. I thought she was eating it so well so I felt sad for her. I know how it is people wanting to leave before you are done.

We got back and it was time to get Miles to sleep. (9:30)  It was after 10 PM by the time this happened. I had to set some things up before nursing him so then it was even more delayed.

Then we had to get Ella to sleep. We tried. Dave did her bedtime routine the same time I did Miles but she was still awake and causing trouble at 11:30

Ella was still up at 12:30.

Dave went out because heard her dragging bag. She said looking for scissors. She was also poking holes in fruit cake package he said. She ended up with a late night snack of Doritos.

 What I deal with when nursing.
