Austin

We went to Austin to visit Casey and Kami over Veteran's day weekend.  We had a great time.  That must be a slow time for travel because it's the same weekend we found great tickets to go to San Francisco last year.  We left Wednesday night and flew over night and came home late Sunday night. So we had 4 full days there.  Thursday when we got to their house, we slept most of the morning. Then we went to the State Capitol in Austin and did a little tour.  Then we went to a military museum. It was cool, but we only had 20 minutes before they closed.  We walked around outside and saw the tanks.  Then we found a workout playground place.  The kids thought that was great and we stayed there a while. Then we ate bbq for dinner.  Friday we went to San Antonio. We went to the Alamo, which was impressive and fun, but very crowded since it was Veterans Day. Then we went and saw the River Walk and had some ice cream.  That was really fun and we had great weather.  Then we drove back and ate at our favorite monte cristo place, Cheddars. And we picked up a cake and ice cream and went back to Casey's to celebrate Ruby's birthday. Saturday we went to a fun park with Casey and Kami. Then the kids babysat and the adults went out to dinner that night.  Sunday we went to church.  We did our vacation church and had a testimony meeting with them in their backyard. After lunch we went on a long walk on a trail by their house that went by two parks.  A man at the park introduced us to pineapple guava that were growing there.  We took some home and tried them. They were good.
