houston travel {feb 19}.

haley is always asking me about my work and what it's like to travel all the time.  i've tried to convince her it's not always as glamorous as it sounds, but i don't think she believes me.  =)  i had an overnight trip for the 19th and 20th, so i sent her a few pictures of my stay.  she's never been on a plane before, so i sent her a quick shot from the plane. 

when i got to the hotel, i sent her a few pictures of the place i was staying {definitely not the omni, but what are you going to do? #firstworldproblems}.

i didn't really have a view of much, but i tried to give her a look at everything.

i was supposed to meet up with a couple of friends from conocophillips for dinner, but their conference happy hour was running a little long, so i decided i would get a quick little snack of wings.

this is what room service delivered.  hardly a little snack.  and such a funny display.

i haven't been eating a lot of meat over the past year, but i tore into these wings.  i'm a little embarrassed to post these pictures.

in the end, i was glad i had ordered them because dinner plans with the COP-ers didn't work out.

the next day on the trip home, we got stranded in oklahoma city for a bit.  snow was falling in tulsa and bartlesville and the cloud cover was too low to land.  it was a bummer because the roads and runways were fine; we just couldn't land.  i was grateful they took us to okc instead of back to dallas or houston.  we ended up sitting there for about three hours.  they brought in pizza for us and i had time to visit with rick thompson.  it could have been worse, but i was so glad to finally get back to bartlesville.
