Parents Come to Town

On Wednesday evening, Kyle's parents, Steve & Jill and a former forign exchange student, Philipp from Austria, came to visit! After driving straight through the night, they were pooped from the 19 hours in the car. We went out to eat and chilled the night and caught up on talking. Steve was in the mood for shrimp so we enjoyed Pappadeux while dining on the patio during a very nice evening of weather.

Thursday headed downtown to the Riverwalk while Kyle and I went to work. Philipp was able to see the main tourist-attractions such as the Alamo, Riverwalk, and different shops and good food. They had fun looking at all the souvenier shops and sayings. That evening we walked down to Rudy's BBQ and enjoyed some amazing Texas brisket, turkey, sausage, and their famous cream corn.

Friday they explored some Caverns near Boerne, and Kyle and I made it home and we invited Dan & Jason over for a fun night of games and homemade shrimp gumbo thanks to Jill! Lots of laughs, as usual! Saturday we walked all around the rodeo, exploring shops and livestock barns. Always some good finds, there! We went out to eat at Red Robin (YUM!) for Philipp...he loves nothing more than a good burger and endless fries! It was so nice on Sunday that we drove down to the Pearl Brewery and walked the entire Riverwalk (since we followed the river it totaled about 3 miles one way). Once we got down to the main area we enjoyed some good ol Mexican food before taking the hike back.

It was a pleasant weekend with family- full of laughs and adventures! Always good to have family visit!

A BEAUTIFUL day for a walk!  

Until next time!
