Visit with Mom

My Mom finally came to see where we live in El Paso, Texas on January 29th -February 1st....I mean we have only be living here for 6 months now :) I wish the whole family could have come but I will take what I can get! We tried to do and see everything in just 2 1/2 days. I had so many places that I have told her about and wanted to take her to that when it was time and she was here I could not even think where to start. But I will give you a rundown of the trip: Friday I left work early to pick her up at the airport and of course her flight was the only one behind schedule due to the weather(snow), but I finally got her and we got home about the same time as my sweet husband you showed up with a bouquet of roses for me and flowers for my Mom as well. We let Fritz get showered and changed and we went to Carlos Y Mickey's for dinner....they have the Texas size (bigger than your head) Margarita's that are SO GOOD!

Saturday we got up and got ready to go for a hike in the mountains, it was kind of chilly when we left but not too bad. We climbing all the way up to snow and ice on the ground...but it did not stop us!

This hike only took us about an hour and half so we decided we would go to the Mckelligon Canyon to walk and run. It is about 5 miles round trip but the fist 2.5 is up hill. At the top, you are at 4,780 feet elevation so it is butt kicker for sure! I love going there because it is one the few places that has a start and end point. My Mom and I ran the whole way back just in case we did not burn enough calories on the way up :)

When we got home we were hungry and wore out, we needed some rest before we got going again to the Outlet Mall to SHOP.  Then we went out to dinner to another one of our favorite restaurants; BJ's. Mom loved it!

Sunday we went sightseeing around downtown El Paso. Places that I had not yet been to,  we ended up driving the wrong way down a one way street, thank goodness everything was closed and there was no traffic! We also went the National Cemetery, to my work then just my Mom and I went to do more shopping while waiting for my oil to be changed. When Fritz's parents were here at Christmas they were very generous and bought us our first complete bedroom set. We still needed to pick out a bedspread and all of that jazz, so my Mom and I went searching,  and found something that I loved and knew would not be too 'girly' for Fritz!

Thanks MOM :)
