So after the 105 degree heat and dried up grass of Texas we come home to 70 degree weather and long super long green grass.\u00a0 I was so chilly yesterday that I had to close the windows.\u00a0 Austin has lots of mowing to do.\u00a0 At least the flowers all look good.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for the questions about San Antonio, it is well worth it to stay on the River Walk.\u00a0 It is about 10 degrees cooler down there (at least) and so nice to walk right out of the hotel and be there. The Sheraton is there on the river.<\/p>\n

The boat tour is worth the time and money.\u00a0 The older boys liked hearing all the history.
\nThe Mexican Market is worth your time too- lots of cool stuff for great prices.\u00a0 I found some really cool metal stars that I wanted to bring home and hang on my screened porch but I didn’t buy them- now wish I had.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s hot.\u00a0 But you get used to it.<\/p>\n

We walked the grounds of the alamo but didn’t go inside because the line was long and it was hot.<\/p>\n

And then it was on to Austin<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

which always feels a bit like home<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

had to ride the Zilker Park train.\u00a0 Only in Austin will you find a guy hanging out a Sunday afternoon playing music for the train riders<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

turns out his name is woode wood<\/a>– he posted his info on my flickr page just moments after I posted his picture.
\ninteresting story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dinner at Hula Hut<\/a><\/p>\n

didn’t see Lance<\/a> there though<\/p>\n

But check out this guy my mother-in-law picked up while we were there (just kidding)
\n<\/p>\n

He was missing a few teeth and was quite the talker.<\/p>\n

In other news… a new bag on the way and more pillows soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
