The lovely and talented Miss Nancy and I have been trying to plan a date for a blogmeet around Bluebonnet season for years and have finally just said, "Screw it! Let's do it!"Here's the plan, and it's a loose one:
Thursday, April 8th:
- Noon - ? Sightseeing in Austin.
- We're parking our cabooses at the Super 8 Austin Downtown/Capitol Area (1201 N. I-35).
- Dinner/drinks with whoever might be in town and want to meet for dinner. We're open for suggestions.
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (bring your cameras!)
- If we have time, the LBJ Library and Museum, as I'd really like to see the moving, talking figure of LBJ. (I've read the Robert Caro books. So sue me.) It's so kitschy that it's got to be great.
- Off to Houston!
- Sightseeing in Houston (my first trip, yay!) with 'Pup and/or anyone else who's interested in making sure I see the best of your city.
- Dinner at Goode Company with as many of y'all as possible.
- Take Miss Nancy and 'Pup somewhere really nice for brunch as a thank-you. (Suggestions, please!)
- Hit a garden center or two. It's a tradition.
- Head home!

Excellent! It will be great to see you! Let me know where you're going on Saturday, and I'll tag along. As for brunch, try the Dharma Cafe or Georgia's Farm to Market, a buffet tucked inside a huge health food store.
See you in April!
If you have time take the drive from Fredericksburg to Llano. You will not regret it.
If you hate time take the drive from Austin to Fort Worth. You will not regret it.
Pay no attention to kerrcarto.
What? No trip to the local shooting range? No pilgrimage to Collector's Firearms?
Sacralige!

Well... Miss Nancy has to work during the day on Saturday, so you fellas, if you were crazy enough, could give me a safety and shooting lesson, I suppose. It doesn't have to be an entirely girly weekend...
