Up to no good

This post is less about "San Antonio: World's Greatest Tourist Destination" and more "Any place is wonderful when you're with wonderful people you love". As part of a work trip (!), I got to spend time this past week with one of my best friends, Kristie.

We can't all rest our legs on benches ;)

In a lot of ways, we had like this perfect date weekend. Kristie picked me up at the airport after a slow motion run at each other (well, me running at her car). She then took me out to eat at a vegetarian restaurant and we walked along the river in down town San Antonio for hours under the stars. It was SO  nice (as I told Kristie approximately 1 billion times). I never thought I'd like San Antonio that much, but walking around the city with Kristie was like living the dream and laughing the whole way :D . The next day, Kristie and I woke up at the crack of dawn (but really, it was 5 AM or some ridiculous hour) to go to work (neither of us sleep).  I had meetings for most of the day, but eventually we were set free from work :)

What was on deck for that night? Obviously dyeing our hair. Kristie dyed her hair with henna and ended up with this beautiful deep red/purple mermaid like hair (caution: henna is a huge mess and takes hours to prepare). I dyed my hair purple black and it ended up... my natural hair color. I have no idea how that happened- my hair still had residual black in it from previous winter dye and it dyed that hair back to brownish red. I'm still trying to figure out what happened.

"Gee I hope this works"

We decided to 'sleep in' till 7 AM the next before heading to work.... which was... work. After work, Kristie and I went for an epically long walk (she and I LOVE walks) and then pizza/margaritas (!). Really, if you're going to have an 'average' day, these are the average days I want. Of course, Kristie got compliments on her beautiful hair wherever we went. I didn't even pretend that I had dyed my hair the night before.

This is a GREAT life

Children are exhausting, so we spent the evening eating cupcakes, making plarn (for my backpacking pad project...!) and watching game of thrones. It was a totally peaceful way to end the trip... so San Antonio may not be the most epic of travel destinations, but wherever friends are, they are great times to be had :D

Dude, it totally sucks to be in any photo with supermodels Kristie and Rachel
