Sunday Evening, and Back to Work for Kristin











Went to Marble Falls, Texas to pick up Kristin for the weekend on Thursday evening. Had bbq ribs and brisket at Coopers, one of many Texas bbq's, and definitely very good. That same day we had toured the LBJ Western White House near Johnson City. went to Austin the next day to the Texas Museum of History (very well done) and the LBJ Presidential Library on the campus of the University of Texas. Friday we went to a flea market and to a winery. Sunday we headed for San Antonio where we went to the Alamo, the River Walk where we had lunch and to a Mission that was built in the 1700's. Before we dropped Kristin off back at camp we had a late dinner in Marble Falls. The three of us had a fun visit and we saw a part of the country that was unexpectedly beautiful and very interesting. I was very happy that we took the opportunity to spend some time with Kristin.

This morning we left Johnson City and are staying in Lubbock, Texas overnight. We plan to stop at the Buddy Holly Museum tomorrow morning before heading out of town.

Hope to get some pictures posted tomorrow night. - Joyce

I bet Kristin was glad to see you guys. Sounds like you saw a lot in the short time you had.
You are right about that area being unexpectedly beautiful, I think you were there at the perfect time of year.
