Monday, 20 March 2017: Austin

During our time in Austin we made sure we caught up with friends -- breakfast with Betsy, lunch with Lisa and Allen.  One special treat was dinner with Kim and Harper and Luke,  After a mouth-watering dinner of Bill Miller's BBQ, Justin was on Battleship duty with Luke. 

We also took time for doctor's appointments and pedicures but bluebonnets stayed at the top of the hit parade.  We saw more of the blooms as we ventured out on country roads.  On Saturday, Dellene took us to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center where we enjoyed dozens of types of wildflowers and other native plants in natural landscapes.  Since this trip was "all about the bluebonnets", this was a perfect stop.

Sunday morning found us at a local venue for Bloody Mary Brunch -- now that is the way to start the day!  Grilled steaks for dinner seem to be a tradition for Don and Dellene and Justin and I were just fine with joining in for good Texas beef.

Springtime means Rodeo in Texas and we were in Austin just in time to see Luke try his hand at mutton bustin'.  Clearly, the little guy has the hands of an intellectual as his three second of fame came to an end all too soon.  Thankfully he was smiling by the time he made his way back to mom and sis.
