Austin - Visit #1

Dave and I ventured down to Austin this past week. It's a 15 hour drive -We started Sunday, Jan. 30th - after 12 hrs. we stopped south of Ft. Worth (Burleson) then finished the last 3 hrs. on Monday morning.
Oh, what fun we had entertaining Jacob and he entertaining us!! He loved his train table as you can see by the pics. Erin was again a very gracious hostess. Yummy meals and fun times. She even turned on the heat when it dipped below freezing.
That's right, it can freeze in Austin - it can snow too - we got 1 in. on Thursday evening. Jason pulled out some board games to pass the time on the cold days.
The weekend saw temps. back into the 60's. We visited the Capitol on Saturday - great design. On Sunday we ended our stay with a picnic at Basfort Park. Gotta go again to take in the trails...
Up and in the car by 7 a.m. - Dave got to driving and just wanted to be home - ended up driving all 15 hours Monday!
Bet you thought we'd sleep in on Tuesday - nope - we were still on Jacob time - Dave up at 6:30 and me up at 7. Maybe tomorrow we'll sleep in - oops forgot - gotta go see those two grand kids in Ames - been away too long from my Makenna and Coldog!!
Thanks Erin, Jason, and Jacob for welcoming us into your home - always love coming and forever hating to leave...
See you in a month - yippee :-)
