Last week was a vacation for the family (minus Amber, who was working hard in CT)
We packed up and headed to Austin, TX. We visited there and also Wimberely, Gruene, Smithville... it was fun!
The sight of: downtown Austin, the beautiful Driskell hotel, our state Capitol, Austin visiting Frost Bank, Night at the Museum 2 (funnier than I thought it was gonna be... ), Book People (one of our new favorite bookstores), Austin's freebirds hat atop his head (most days at least..) lots of crossword puzzles, the house that Hope Floats was filmed at (http://www.smithvilletx.org/hopefloats.html), the sight of my sweetheart when I arrived home...
The taste of: yummy mac and cheese from Threadgills, chocolate orange gelato from Whole Foods (to die for... oh my goodness!), delightful french fries from Pocket's Grill, a yummy starbucks banana chocolate vivanno, a salsa burger from the Gristmill, Blue Bell ice cream from the Old Mill Store at Wimberely, diet coke.
The feel of: excitement because Amy is home, crowding 5 people in one hotel room, heat... lots and lots of heat!, anxiety as I hear Amy and Berna talk about Truett, fear as a lady collapses at Pocket's Grill, missing Amber and David, wishing they could have both been with us, excitement each morning as I open that day's letter from David
A great trip. A great family. So grateful.
Pictures to come!
