Summer Fun

 

We started our day in a fantastic way by having waffles in the shape of the state of Texas!  How cool was that?

First thing on our agenda was to tour the Capitol.  Marvin, Sarah and Kat had never been so it was a lot of fun.

We waited for our tour to start and there is one thing that I’d like to say about tour guides.  It’s a unique job.  And I would think that it takes a unique individual to fill that role.  I like a funny guide.  One that adds humor to their informational dialogue.  Our tour guide was well…..different.  It was almost as if there was a recorder playing inside her head and at various moments the pause button was pressed and she would pause in her speech.  it was kind of weird.  But we made the most of it and had a good time anyway.

We also ate lunch at the Capitol.  I’m sure there were many famous and important people there but I didn’t have a chance to meet any of them because all eyes were on this handsome man…..

After our tour and lunch we headed over to visit the UT Co-op.  Since we were in Austin we needed to buy some Longhorn gear and take our pics outside with Bevo!

After the Capitol tour and stopping by the Co-op we headed home.  But we did need a potty break so we stopped by a convenience store.  Now those of you that know me I have this “thing” about random “things”.  For example I like taking pics of water towers, bathrooms, phonebooths, city signs etc.  I know, I know…..it’s not mainstream photography but hey, it makes me smile. 

Which brings me to my wonderful pic of girlie and Marvin.  Please enjoy.

Summer Fun 07.08.09

san antonio day 2 068

We started out Day 2 with a San Antonio River Boat tour on the Riverwalk in San Antonio.  We’ve actually taken the tour several times but always enjoy it every time we go. 

It was soooo hot outside while on the tour which is why we took the tour first thing in the morning.  We did have a fun time and afterwards we went to eat at Tony Roma's.  We don’t have one in Mesquite anymore so we really like to eat there.  We had the ribs and they were so good! 

After lunch we went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not and Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum.  It was a great break from the heat and a ton of fun!!
