great weekend

Well, I haven't been on here in a few days and there is a reason why...........I spent the weekend in Austin, TX.  I left Saturday morning and flew down to Austin and spent the weekend with Amanda and the kids at her mom and stepdad's house in Austin.  Amanda had actually left a week earlier to spend some time with her sister in Houston before driving onto Austin.  I want to thank Doug and Diane Rankin for opening their home to me and showing me some outstanding hospitality.  Doug took us on a tour of Austin and I got to see Darrell Royal Field at Memorial Stadium, the Frank Erwin Center, and the infamous University Tower.  We also went to the Texas History Museum.  Monday morning, we left around 5:30 and made that long drive back home.  After a stop at Amanda's doctor in McKinney and then some lunch afterwards, we got back on the road and got back to Beebe around 8:35 Monday evening.  It was a nice vacation, but like the saying goes, there is no place like home.
