Nancy came to watch the kids during their spring break, and Catherine went to go house-hunt.
She flew out of Austin, so I used the excuse to go check out a local state park, and eventually a local brewery (complete with wood-fired pizza oven).
We went to McKinley Falls State Park, which was just a couple of miles from the airport. A river runs through the park, with some interesting rock features on either side, plus a couple of smaller waterfalls.
The kids both had a great time walking around and exploring the place. Both kids were pretty excited to see new things, and then get Nancy to go check them out, too.
It was a pretty short trip, I think we only stayed about an hour, but definitely worth the effort.
After that, we went to the Jester King brewery, located out in the sticks. There is a restaurant next door to it, with a wood-fired pizza oven. If you go, you can have your choice of pizza, pizza, or pizza. Though I must say, the pizza was pretty darn good.
And for no particular reason, here is a picture of the Valentine's Day gift I got for Catherine - a shark fin tea ball. Don't worry, no real sharks were harmed in the making of this tea ball.
Who says I'm not a romantic?!?
Have a great day! Cheers,
Marc
