Strange things in Texas...

When we arrived in Texas on Christmas Eve, Dan, Jan (Dan's mom) and I got to wander around by our boring airport hotel for a few hours while we waited for my parents to arrive. The two best things about that boring airport hotel were:

1. The Travel Spot "Spa" (quotations not added). We asked the front desk lady if there was a place nearby to get our nails done (the females of course) and she said that there was a Travel "Spa" (putting air quotes) around the corner in the mini strip mall with random food places. We walked over there and what did we find? A shady looking entrance with a red light, Asian themed decorations and a little window with a bell to rind for service. Dan was all for ringing that bell but I ran out telling him no firmly. He did take a card though and it definitely has "spa" in quotes. Soooo Awesome.

2. The large field behind the bar with random large metal animals and a couple of creepy manikins. We had to investigate of course.
The giraffe
The bull
The woman in a man's shirt and the man in some swim trunks.

Texas kinda struggled with its first impression.
