We were back on the road today, after a nice two day visit with Todd B. The goal was to get to our VRBO reserved condo in San Antonio by evening, and we were successful. We passed the 1500 mile mark since last Thursday, here's our general route so far:
Given that we had the day to make a 4-5 hour drive, we decided it would be worth a few stops. Our first was to visit our friends Chip & Joanna. I guess they aren't really our friends, but I probably have spent more time with them (via the old tube) in the past few years than actual friends. Yes, it's sad, but true. They have a nice place at the Silos in a few cool square blocks. I long wanted to try one of their bakery cupcakes and wasn't disappointed when I finally sunk my teeth into the lemon frosting during the late morning hours today.
There were quite a few small shops around the silos and we did some light perusing in and around the time of our sugar coma. Lots of nice stuff. Modern country isn't really my personal favorite style (and I'm not sure that's the right name for it, just what I call it), but I will say most of what they had for home goods and the like was pretty darn nice.
We then decided to mosey on down to Lockhart. A quick shout out to Mr. Quinn W for suggesting a stop, while we made our way past Austin down to San Antonio. We picked Black's and had a tasty, all-meat, full-carnivore style nosh this afternoon for linner.
Another hour or so and we arrived at our destination for evening one of a 3 night stay. Took a nice walk along the river to start this part of the vacation.
