Baby's First Hurricane Evacuation

OK, so maybe it's not really an evacuation, but we are sitting here in San Antonio while Houston gets pounded with wind and rain.

We were planning to head to San Antonio for a friend's wedding on Saturday, so with all the weather issues, and with school closing and Greg's office closing Friday, we decided to leave a day early. We already had a hotel for Saturday night, so all we had to do was call and add another day to our reservation. This being my first evacuation and Greg's second ever, it went pretty well. The traffic wasn't too bad; there were no huge bottlenecks or problems on I-10 West so we lucked out. We even stopped at a really nice (yet crowded) rest stop on the way. The only thing we realized that we forgot to prep before we left is moving the grill into the garage and away from the plate glass patio doors. So who knows, when he head back, we might have our Webber grill sitting in our kitchen.

We spent this afternoon out on the Riverwalk and seeing a movie, so it's been s nice weekend getaway. We've never been to the Alamo together (though we've both been bunches of times before), so we had to take the obligatory tourist picture.

So for your hurricane funny of the day....

Houston Hurricane Evacuation Routes:
Katrina victims take I-10 East back to Lousiana
Mexicans take I-10 West to San Antonio
Yankees and Democrats take I-45 South to Galveston Island
Longhorns take 290 West to Austin
Aggies take the 610 Loop

:) hehehe

And on a side note....don't think the only thing Greg and I own are maroon Aggie Tshirts...it's always just the easiest thing to throw on. Walking around San Antonio with us in our Aggie shirts and Greg in his Aggie hat, you'd think we were getting ready to tailgate or something :) School pride is a great thing!!
