The Dewey get together.

During this whirl wind trip to Texas we spent the first day with my brother in San Antonio. Then on friday we were picked up by the my inlaws and headed towards Austin which is about an hour and some. We stopped a little on the way and didn't get to our hotel until about 4-ish. After a quick shower and a speedier blow dry, Todd and I headed back south 30 minutes to get in the car with one of his old high school buddies and then head another 15 minutes south to meet another buddy for dinner at Rudys bbq(which was only about 20 min. north of San Antonio where we started off in the first place). A little crazy in the traveling department but w managed. The food was great and the company was even better. We had a really good time! Then we drove back to Austin(45 minutes) and found that the inner door on our rooms, which were opened to make one big room, had been shut and thus locked without any way of opening it without being on the other side of the door. We were not given a key for the other room because they were booked as one room and it wasn't needed. It was late and we were tired. Devyn hadn't been sleeping well on the trip. Todd went down to the front desk for a key to the other room. Unfortunately the metal latch on the inside of the door was engaged and we couldn't open it. The lady attempted to find a special tool that they use to open it, but to no avail. She then offered u a room across the hall until the maintinance crew could assist in the morning. Too bad our luggage was locked in the room. Luckily Devyn was not. She was still on grandmas bed. While arrangements were being made and another crib was being brought up, Todd decided to use a credit card to get through the inside door. After some effort it worked and we got in. We unlocked the front door to find that it was broken and barely on its hinge....no wonder the latch had been set...so that no one would use that door until it had been fixed. We finally went to sleep. Saturday morning we headed into Austin to do some shopping. I thought that I had figured out where to go previously, but I was wrong and we made some stops and drove around but did not accomplish what I had hoped. The time was getting later and we still had to check out by 2. From Austin we headed east 30 miles to Bastrop where the wedding was taking place. It wasn't until 6:30 and we were early. Luckily the Wells love us so much that we were able to impose on their hotel room for a bit and visit. The wedding and reception were nice and it was really good to visit with Ken and Paula. At 10:30 we headed south to Alice. It took us 4 hours and I hate driving at night because I can't sleep in cars. I worry about the driver falling asleep so I have to stay awake. I was so tired!!!!!!!! I never want to do that drive again! On sunday we skipped church which wasn't originally the plan but the best idea anyone could have. We slept and then had time to get ourselves ready for the family get together at 1:00. Although it was busy we finally were in one place. Devyn was able to relax and even nap. I took a nap myself while I helped Devyn fall asleep. On monday morning we headed 2 1/2 hours back to San Antonio to catch our flight back. Both ways we had a lay over so we road on 4 planes. Devyn did great but would not sleep until the last 10 minutes both directions. I'm not sure that I can say it was a vacation, but it was fun. I'm glad to be home.
