We just returned from being gone for a week and a day for Thanksgiving break. Lydia had Friday off for the F1 race (we missed the traffic and helicopters) and the whole week too. Caleb took it off as well (yay for comp time) and we were on the road to celebrate Thanksgiving, hang out with family and lots of sick people. First to Salado where we visited Granddaddy in rehab, Kathy was there too. Saturday morning Caleb 'caught' a deer as Gloria says with his arrow (yay for local grass fed red meat). Then the girls stayed with mom (while Kathy got to see Baylor beat #1 Kansas St) while Caleb and I drove off into the Hill Country for a former co-worker's wedding. We ate in Burnet and enjoyed the winding country roads and arrived in Ingram. Before going to the wedding we checked out an art gallery that has a 2/3 replica of Stonehenge (that you get to go inside) and an Easter Island head. I walked around by the river and saw tons of butterflies on yellow flowers. Caleb listened to the Aggie football game on the radio.
Then we went to the wedding. It was beautiful-outdoors (good thing I dressed warm, the sun was nice but once it was down it got pretty cold) with cypress tress and the sun setting on the river. Several friends who formerly went to HP were there. After the ceremony there were fajitas, cake and dancing.
We took the city way home to avoid deer in the dark and when we saw the lights of Austin, it felt like home. Back at my parents we stayed another day before heading to Beaumont.
