Overall, our trip to Dallas last weekend went pretty well, considering temperatures were in the high 90s and humid, we made the mistake of stopping in Waco on the way there, and the baby was over-stimulated by all his adventures and wouldn't sleep at night.
We met family, had home-cooked Gujarati food, watched Hum Tum (a Bollywood When Harry Met Sally), and were treated to a special tabla concert by Shrey.
A very special concert, because the tabla was actually a watermelon. I don't think concerts normally end with the drum being eaten. ;-)
Another highlight of our trip was "surprising" Dhruti with a family reunion event at Subway, where we ate freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, took bets for the baby's arrival date, and posed for some extremely serious group pictures.
If only these people could loosen up a bit, right? So serious.
I think it might have been better if I had stood in the back for these shots. I look like an ogre that just ate some villagers (or Jared in his "before" pictures).
But that didn't stop me from eating chocolate chip cookies all the way home. (They're low-fat right? Actually this is the time when the baby is putting on fat, so I'm sure it was just what he needed.)
And another highlight: we didn't have to call the doctor from Dallas or Waco or anywhere in between and tell her the baby was on the way and explain why it would take us 3-4 hours to get to the hospital. :-)
