I'm only a few weeks late right? Mark and I had a busy Christmas this year. I worked the week before and Mark was in NYC for some company meetings. We both packed up on Friday before Christmas Eve and drove down to Houston. We spent Christmas with my parents this year, same as last. Christmas Eve morning we went over to my high school best friends house to play with her baby!!! Turner is the sweetest little thing, she is so happy and such a delightful baby! We had a great time, ate some pizza, and played the dancing game on the Wii! Mark danced to Kung Fu Fighting, and yes I have a video. Ill keep that one around for awhile as leverage... We went to church on Christmas Eve and had a delicious dinner a Raffas, a new family tradition! Christmas morning was nice and relaxing. We opened gifts and had a great breakfast. Mark got his shoes from my parents he has been patiently waiting for. I got all of the rest of my bedding from our registry. Actually my mom MADE my European pillow shams! They look so amazing, we love them! Eric, Cate, and Elle came down to Kingwood around 2, and we had a great Christmas feast, another round of Christmas presents and a few games of Banana Grams!
A few weeks before Christmas we started planning a trip to Vienna, Austria. Mark has a friend who flies for Austrian airlines and is based in Vienna. Our original plan was to get up super early on Monday morning the day after Christmas to fly to EWR, and then take a train (I found it it would be 4 trains) over to JFK (where Austrian flies out of). Turns out the flights booked up so we ended up leaving Christmas night to fly to EWR. It was a good decision though, we got to sleep in on Monday before heading over to JFK, which took awhile but saved us a lot of money from taking a cab. It was kind of fun! We boarded our flight for Austria around 5:30 PM EST.
The flight was amazing. We had business/first class seats, and I feel like I can never go back to economy now... The seats laid out into beds and moved into all kinds of directions. There was a chef on board who served amazing food, our appetizer was seared Tuna, followed by beef tenderloin, followed by a chocolate cake. There was a coffee menu with about 10 different kinds of coffee/cappachino etc on it. Delightful! We didn't get much sleep on our way over there but watched a lot of movies! It was really a great flight and we had a good time. We landed in Vienna around 7am their time, and took a train to our hotel which was only about 10 minutes away.
