This past weekend…
My best friend KC and her kids were visiting Texas from California and we met up with them in Austin.
Here is a set of photos I took while driving to Austin. Matt never stops to let me take photos, but this time was different. He turned around all on his own and took me to a “Scenic Overlook” on Highway 71. We got to Austin and visited with Dan and Margaret in their newly remodeled home. It looks great! Then we met up with KC and our other friend Jennifer who lives in Austin at South Park Meadows in South Austin. This place used to be a concert venue and now its all commercial. It rained when we got there but it finally stopped and we were still able to eat Amy’s Ice Cream and Mama Fu’s Asian House. Yummy! The kids liked the play scape and ice cream and the big kids enjoyed visiting.
The next day we woke up to Dan already gone but got to hang out with Margaret. We locked up and then ate breakfast at Taco Shack on Lamar at 40th. We’ve been here a number of times and the food is always tasty! We stopped to let me take a few photos of The Capital and Congress. I didn’t take my phone and Matt has to move because the meter man was coming and so he drove around for 15 minutes trying to find me. That was no fun for him. Good thing was I could hear his little TDI zip around all the one ways an anticipate where he could come by next.
We then headed south to meet KC and her sister Katy for a while and said our goodbyes. We were next off to the Snake Farm in New Braunfels, Texas. We had recently watched an episode of Dirty Jobs were Mike Rowe visits the Snake Farm. We had been before but it had been years and we were in the area so what the heck. Mason loved the snakes! The other animals were sad but we are told the new owners are improving the place. Take a look of the photos. Let me know if you can help me identify some of the snakes.
KC and Imelda at Gulfstream
My family and I stayed at Gulfstream Condominiums on N. Padre Island, in Corpus Christi, Texas. We met KC and her family out there. Mason got an ear ache and Danielle also felt sick but we still had 5 fun days.

KC’s visit
My best friend KC came from CA to visit and meet Mason. What a nice, quick visit we all had. I hope to take Mason out to northern California sometime soon so he can meet the rest of her family. She has the cutest kids and the most interesting husband (right, jason?)
The northern CA air will be nice on Mason’s new baby skin.
