Austin Pictures

While we were down in Austin/San Marcos we made it down to the Alamo and Nici was not really all that impressed. She was so unimpressed that the only pictures that she wanted was a 140 year old live oak tree outside the Alamo:




On Sunday we managed to make it to Gruene and the we had a great lunch at the Grist Mill. It was a little cool but sitting out on the patio looking over the river was very nice.
Here is downtown Gruene:





After lunch at the Grist Mill we drove out to Wimberly and got to see some more of the Hill Country.






So hopefully it is obvious why Nici and I are ready to leave North Texas and either head to NC or down to Austin if we can't get back to NC

Austin, TX

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio. I am already missing the hill country and wish that we lived there. While the weather was a little cold on the first few days it got better the last day. We made it to the Alamo and Nici was only somewhat impressed. Really more interested in the cool live oak that was outside.

We got to see an old friend of mine, do some shopping at the outlet mall and get some lunch at the Gristmill in Gruene. I will post some pictures when I get a chance. The hill country is beautiful. Nici was ready to move down there after only seeing a little of the area.
