To the zoo! Or not.

Dad, Pippa and Tom came to visit again! We had plans of going to the zoo, but by the time we got off the highway, we realized that it wouldn't be worth it. The traffic to get off the highway alone took us about half an hour! So we turned around and headed downtown.



We ended up having a lunch/dinner (linner? dunch?) along the Riverwalk and then moseying over to see the Alamo (which was closed, since it was after 5 when we got there.

There is dad playing with his iPhone trying to use the GPS. (I have another picture that is practically the same from a few years ago while we were in Barcelona... except that he's looking at a map. Technology, ftw!)

And although it was closed, we made Tom pose for a picture, anyway!)


As you can see, it was both bright AND he was not happy to have his picture taken. (I think he is beginning to take after a certain other brother of mine!) This was him swinging his arms back and forth.

There's Dad and Pippa in front of the Alamo.

We had a lot of fun just hanging out and talking, and I am so glad they came down! Pippa even made a cake and I have been resisting the urge to eat even more of it. It's so good. (Thanks, Pippa!)
