Visiting the Grands is so Grand…

We have enjoyed hitting some of our favorite restaurants and taverns while in Bryan Texas.  We especially enjoy the fact that we can now get good Mexican food once again. Sorry East Coast but what you call Mexican food is lame…

Thursday we headed over to the south Austin area where our son and his family lives. We hadn’t been to visit them in well over a year so it had been a long time. We drove the 115 mile drive to see our son, his wife, the grand-kiddos as well as the grand-dogs. Spending time with them was fantastic and it almost seemed like we had never been away. We were a bit worried whether the grand-kiddos would remember us but in no time they were in our laps, conversing, and just having fun… We attribute this to the use of cell phones and technology such as Skype.

While there we made up some of our favorite dishes for the youngsters and  as it turned out our four year old loved salmon… who wouldda thought?? The homemade bread was also such a hit that it not only got eaten in less than a day, but they also learned how to make it. They even sent us a picture of their first home loaf last night after we got back home.

While there we made time to go to Lowes to buy some 2x4’s and crafted a bed frame for the granddaughter’s bed. Now her bed is no longer sitting on the floor and she now has an “adult” bed. You could really tell she loved her new bed.

What a grand time we had visiting our son’s family and especially seeing the grands… Next time we plan to take them camping or “glamping” (Glamor Camping) as Sharon refers to it. Can’t wait as it should be a fun time then too!
