Bribery Bakery

May8

Today’s lunch was consumed at Bribery Bakery. This place is unique in the area, as they do not have a set menu, but serve up the daily choices from their glass case. The selection of desserts is very extensive and very yummy! My lunch consisted of a turkey and guacamole sandwich, a chocolate and caramel cream pie, and an iced coffee. It was all great. If you find yourself in the area, and are in need of some snacking, then check it out! Today, they were busy baking up a storm for Mother’s Day on Sunday.

Daytripper

May7

As the sun set on downtown Round Rock, it was time to meet up at the Main Street Plaza for the Daytripper Round Rock Premier Party. Chet Garner, AKA “The Daytripper“, was meeting and greeting his fans, running around organizing last minute things, raffling off free goodies, making sure everyone was fed, taking photos with people, and smiling and having fun the whole time. When it was almost dark, he thanked the guitar player and introduced his show about Round Rock. We all watched the half hour episode with interest for our home town places and its history. If you find yourself sitting around looking for something to do, check out his website for some travel ideas in Texas. If you want to take the easy way, look for his popular bus trips and get some Texas exploring done with Chet as your most capable host.

La Fiesta

May7

This bronze sculpture called “La Fiesta” by Dan Pogue, can be found just in front of the Round Rock Public Library. It is a pretty fun piece of art, and it can be yours for a small price. 🙂

Pecan Street Festival II

May3

It is the springtime version of the Pecan Street Festival! Booths, food, drinks, people, pets, art, live music and more! What an awesome day in Downtown Austin!

Shakespeare in the Park

May2

Austin Shakespeare presented “The Taming of the Shrew” at the Zilker Hillside Theater. The setting for the play was the city of Austin in the 1890’s and the surrounding countryside. So, of course, everyone had to wear boots and hats. It was a fun version of Shakespeare, and the play goes on through the month of May if you like outdoor theater, and find yourself in Austin.

Barton Springs Pool

May1

I took a short walk around Barton Springs Pool this evening before sunset and it was warm enough that I wished I had brought my swimsuit. Oh well, next time… Isn’t this a beautiful swimming hole?

Round Rock Express Game

Apr30

Today’s fun was found watching the Round Rock Express play the Nashville Sounds at Dell Diamond. This ballpark is a unique one with its own swimming pool and hot tub in the outfield just behind the grassy seating area. The weather and the sunset were just perfect!

Pflugerville Pfarmers Market

Apr28

It was a nice day for photos at the Pflugerville Pfarmers Market. The Green Red Barn in Pflugerville is home to the Market. This event happens on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 7:00 pm during certain months of the year. Check out the link if you find yourself in need of fresh vegetables or groovy photos.

Art City Austin

Apr26

Another day, another fun festival in Austin. Today it was Art City Austin where they blocked off a portion of Cesar Chavez Street for artist booths, food trucks, and live music. The best artist in my opinion was international photographer Greg Davis. The best food truck was anyone who sold cool, refreshing liquids on this hot day in the street. The best and most energetic band was Holiday Mountain. Check out the links if you want to learn more.
