Short notice quickie vacation

So, Daryl and I both have time off this week. Since I haven't been on the schedule, I asked to not be put on the rest of this week and that was not a problem at all.. (didn't really think it would be)  And Daryl managed to get Wed/Thur/Fri off as well. So early tomorrow morning, we head towards Austin - We get to stop and visit county courthouses on the way, for my "Courthouse Photography" that I like to do. 

Then we spend the day in Austin, visiting the Capitol Building, and general sight seeing in our great state's capitol city. Tomorrow night we meet up with Daryl's brother, who is in Austin for work. He lives in California, so we don't see him often. (And he doesn't really seem to like me much, so I always feel strange being around him, even though Daryl and I have been together over 30 years, I still feel he thinks I am not good enough for his brother... )

We will spend the night in Austin (Still have to find a room, going to do Priceline later to do that), Thursday morning, we will all head down to Daryl's dads property in Sanderson. Since we are picking up John (AKA PeeWee - daryl's brother) we are taking the van. I don't think 5 of us would fit too comfortably in the Corolla. I can see 3 kids in the back, but not 2 teens and one adult.

We will be in Sanderson Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and come home on Sunday.
Daryl's dad John (same as Daryl's brothers real name, which is why sometimes it's just easier to refer to him as PeeWee) and his girlfriend Mieng will be there, and we will visit, go four wheeling, maybe let the girls do some target shooting, and go hiking some.

Next week John (Daryl's dad) is having hip replacement surgery back in New Orleans. I am glad we get to spend this time with them before that.

I will be blogging with photos when we get home! There is no internet connection in Sanderson (much to the dismay of my teenage daughter.... how will she survive 5 days with no internet??)
