When is the last time you were in an airport other than the one here? I've been flying since I was little and I remember airports being large. Like to me at that age it was gigantic and was full of people and we walked a long way to get to our gate and that was it. But adult me takes in all the sights and sounds now and I have to say airports have come a very long way since I was a little Rebecca...

I made some pretty cool observations at Houston Hobby recently. Check out some of what they have inside their airport that is fairly new and a pleasant surprise to me:

A mother's room. How nice. Momma's can have the privacy they deserve when baby gets fussy and it's time to eat or change a diaper.

Located right next to the mother's room, a chapel. Also super cool. For those who may be anxious about a flight, need some quiet prayer time or how about no matter the reason, what a great addition to an airport.

We can't forget our four-legged friends! For those who travel with a service dog, this room is designed to let them run around or relieve themselves after being cooped up on an airplane for however long.

And last but certainly not least. Where the heck was this when I was little and traveling with my parents? A play area for kids. A stuffy flight will a cranky child make! Poor babies have to sit still and in most cases be quiet for the better part of an hour. This room was pretty rowdy when I stepped in, with good reason. lol

Other than your typical food stops, Starbucks and gift shops, I love that all of these can be seen in an airport in Texas. What would you like to see in an airport?
