Off to Austin, Texas

I went to Austin last week for a professional development seminar at the Bob Bullock Museum of Texas History. The seminar was about the immigration from Europe through Galvestion Island. I stayed in the most wonderful, quaint little bed and breakfast. It is called The Inn At Pearl Street. It is on Judge's Hill. The room I stayed in was called the French Room. The house was over 100 years old and charming--especially since it had all new plumbing. It was more "bed" than "breakfast". There were two old houses connecting by tree shaded decks wtih tables.

After the seminar Janis and John--old friends from college picked me up to spend the rest of the weekend at their new 2nd home condo in Lakeway. On the second floor it has a movie room which Janis has dubbed, "The Man Cave," where the guys go to watch movies. I should have brought Jim, he would have loved it. I enjoyed it too--got to see The Blues Brothers--for the first time. "The Man Cave"

We spent Saturday out on their lake yacht on Lake Travis. It was hot but there was a nice breeze, relaxing to be out on the water. I sat on the front of the boat and fell asleep. It was nice get away--next time I will take Jim.
