Labor Day Weekend @ Austin

Blog : End of labor day weekend!

As with all the wonderful things in this world, time flies by and u r left wondering if u spent all this time doing things u wanted do! One more Austin trip is over and we r now on r way back to SFO... Tennis and photography were the agenda I was thinking about while on my way to Austin and I am Glad trying out both of these with Giri who seems to mastering the art of being a guru in most things he does! BTW hats off to Gayatri's mom, food was always abundant and soo tasty that I ended up hogging a whole lot all thru' the day!

Sahi is becoming more and more cute by the day and is following her dad's footsteps well... She made sure that I put on my seatbelt while on the back seat in the car... She emphasizes the win factor and how to take a loss by the stride and also knows to imitate Lahari well :-)

As this labor day weekend comes to an end, I am reminded of the labor day last year... We had driven to Vegas as my parents were here and v had a ball of a time there! I stil remember the laughter series all thru' Bellagio with the uncontrollable fun my parents had... The 60 minutes break on r way back with Siva and all to figure out an emergency cure for Shanthi's dental problems... The Buffett feasts where there were so much stuff to eat and my dad not liking ne of it except some deserts!

The quote "Life is not determined by the number of breathes u take, it's the moments that take ur breathe away" is sooo true!!!

On our way to Austin...

On our way to Austin... Reached LAX and looking for a good breakfast place around... Der is a Mexican place, cold sw place and Mc D here... Not in a mood for the big burrito's as the day begins... Cold sw are not my choice ne time of the day! Left with The only choice Mc Donalds... Hoping to settle down for a nice hot chicken sw with the limited options available here, go and wait in the long queue... Never Thot I would wait in a Mc donalds line on a nice bright sunny Saturday morning that happens to be a long weekend as well... How does it always happen that the lines I am not in end up moving fast? Finally as I make it to the counter, I realize the fact that Mc D sells only mc muffins for bfast... Why does it seem like u have every thing at ur fingertips with the most coolest gadgets all around u and still find it almost impossible to find one not so out of the ordinary choice of bfast the moment u embark on a vacation trip for long weekend???

The LAX flight was decent, except for the fact that I had to sit far away from my wonderful wife with whom I want to spend as much time as possible and except for the little harsh landing which almost makes u think if this happens to b the first flight trip for the pilot on a commercial plane... Ok, tat was a liitle bit of an exaggeration, I must agree!

V r still waitin for r boarding call for r next flight to Austin... As I told my lovely lady after gettin down at LAX, there were only 2 things in front of my eyes all along on the flight - Flood lights & tennis court... Yepp, waitin to get to Austin and play some good tennis with my old buddy / tennis coach... The only thing I can wish and earn for now is y in the world did I hardly go for tennis when I spent a good 18 months in Orange county... Was i acting More of a rebel wen Giri used to call me for Tennis... to be frank, I really don't know and looking back now, it's a huge huge loss that I am now trying to overcome..

BTW, little did I realize that I have not been keepin a tab on the time factor and it's already 10:40am.., time for departure of my Austin flight! The boarding gate printed on my pass seems to be incorrect and I can now see the fine prints reading "subject to change"... Thankfully, we did board the flight and are now about 60 mins from reaching Austin!!!
