Today is Amber's 26th birthday. Amber married my my nephew, Richard 3 years ago this October...about the time I broke my foot and had surgery so I missed the wedding (really bummed me out). We're going out tonight to celebrate--not sure where yet, but we're talking about the Oasis, due west, on Lake Travis. There are 40 decks nestled into the cliffs over the lake and I hear the music is great (different every night), and the sunsets unparalleled. If not tonight, we'll go another.
This morning has been spent hunting for a good cup of coffee, performing uncelebrated travel chores like laundry (5 looads!), and making hotel reservations in Galveston for Monday and Tuesday nights. Rosemary's former officemate (Michelle) from UW PhD school lives here in Austin and has invited us for lunch this afternoon. Michelle owns and operates a B&B a little west of town so this should be a fabulous opportunity to see some of the countryside.
I think tomorrow we'll take a little tour bus ride to get a feel for Austin, then head to the LBJ Library and if there's time, take in some other tourist attractions. Some of our sight seeing will undoubtedly take place when we come back up from visiting my brother in the Galveston area. We 3 middle aged women still need to drag ourselves out to take in some of live music smorgasbord that Marc loved. This may call for an afternoon nap prior to our adventure into the clubs. Next week....
And for whoever inquired...yes...I have found wood! We dined yesterday afternoon under 700 year old live oaks! They are fabuloso! More later.
