Off to Texas!

So, we were up and out of the house at 5am to catch the 7am flight to Dallas!  I can't believe the day is here.  We are going to another state to meet a doctor with whom we've only spoken to on the phone and via email.  I'm putting my son's life and happiness in this strangers' hands.  What are we thinking???

We were so lucky that the flights went really well.  The boys played on the hour flight to Philly.  They were so well-behaved!  I was able to feed them in Philly before we left for Dallas.  They slept on the flight to Dallas... the whole 2 1/2 hours!  What great little guys!!!!  I'm so proud of them!

We arrived in Dallas at noon, EST, one CST.  Of course, we had to find a van/taxi big enough for 5 adults, two infants and the luggage.  Our hotel was 30 minutes from the airport.  Dallas is such a big city!!!  And we got a bad taste in our mouths right away when the cab driver wanted to charge us $200 cash for the ride.  We couldn't believe it!!!  Luckily, Joe's negotiation skills were able to knock it down to $100.  Still way too much!  And to top it all off, we knew it was going right in his pocket.  He didn't even have a meter running or a paper of his rates.  LOVE being ripped off.
