Annie, her pop and I headed to Austin this long weekend so we could finally say we've been to more than one city in Texas--oh, and to bond as a family and all that jazz. We had a great time. Annie enjoyed it so much she didn't take ANY naps... Nope. Not one. Needless to say we were *thrilled*. But we tried to keep her busy despite her delirium. She did pretty well, only having one day which was a tribute to her best "terrible twos" impression we've seen yet. We walked to the state capital building (the tallest in the country, proving that everything is, in fact, bigger in Texas), went on a train, climbed a mountain (OK, it was more like a lot of stairs, but Annie was very proud), and visited the world headquarters of Whole Foods, which was basically Whole Foods on steroids (but I'm sure they're organic, environmentally friendly steroids). We also visited their Children's Museum where Annie got to pretend to drive a subway. I think she was pretty sure she had died and gone to heaven (and given her sleepless state, I'm not overstating that; the kid was drunk with tired). Now, we're back. Still no naps. I think Annie's just excited for all the change that's on the horizon with our new president that she decided to enact some of her own. I like the intention, just not the vehicle with which she chose to accomplish it.
