I attended a small Renaissance Festival in San Antonio this afternoon and got a pleasant surprise with a group called Last Chance Forever. They rescue birds of prey and try to get them back into their natural habitat. They showed off Eagles, Falcons, Owls, Hawks, and Vultures. It was amazing.
Today’s lunch was at Cooper’s Bar-B-Que in New Braunfels. They had a weekend special consisting of a boneless pork chop and a baked potato. I added some beans, pickles, and an iced tea to make it an awesome meal. This is a great BBQ joint if you find yourself in the area.
I took a photo walk through downtown Austin today. In search of the best shot of the Frost Bank Tower.
After posting my last blog page from the Lego Kids Fest, there was still a little time left before the event was over for the day. Lucky for me, there was a small mountain of Legos to dive into. The kids had built a giant blue city with about 90 towers, so I contributed by building a long blue wall to front the city and keep out the kids who wanted to play Godzilla for the night. It sort of worked and kept the destructive ones from crushing all the towers. The whole plan failed when the time for the event was up. The adult proctors began ripping the city to pieces in preparation for the next morning so tomorrow’s kids could have a fresh mountain of blocks to build from. I hope they have fun and make a city as majestically constructed as the one tonight. 🙂
Pretty much everything Lego can be found at the Lego Kids Fest. It will be here in Austin for the weekend, so come check it out if you can. Now, I need to go build a castle or something…
Trying out a new place for bubble tea in Round Rock on this day full of fluffy clouds. We need Teapioca Lounge in this city, since there are so few bubble tea joints north of Austin. I tried the Frozen Cappuccino with Tapioca and it was tasty. I didn’t do the lounging part today, but I’m sure to return again soon since they stay open until 10:00 pm.
Hooray for the community garden! The butterflies are loving these blossoms. The sun was shining, the bees were out enjoying the nectar, the breeze was blowing, and a few butterflies were willing to pose for pictures. What an awesome afternoon it was!
One of the best parts of the Whole Foods Market in the Domain is the Draft Shack. As you can tell by the photo, they have 45 different beers on tap, among other beverages. They also have an oyster happy hour from 3 to 5 every day if you are into that sort of thing. My beer selection today was a pint of Pablo’s Pale Ale from Adelbert’s Brewery in Austin. Tap #23 on the big board. It was great!
When it pays to be a night owl…
There were some thunder clouds rolling through the area this evening, so I thought I would go for a walk around Pflugerville Lake to catch some awesome photos. It turns out that my view from the booth at Souper Salad was better. Funny how these things work out sometimes. 🙂
