I gotta say, I can't say I LOVED the city of Austin. It mostly was going against my grain. Coming out of Ouachita Forest, getting in touch with nature, and raising my vibration in the Aquarian age did not vibe with the nasty city life. The main activity for the partiers was to party and I'm over here trying to take it easy on the partying. Pulling into the city with the address of the botanical gardens, I walked paths to see flowers as well as a Faerie Exhibition. That was my favorite part, seeing work done by kids where they created homes for faeries to live in - super cute! After making my way and settling into the hostel, I did some exploring around the city. I went into a Russian restaurant, which felt rooting ... read more

Geo: 30.2676, -97.743As mentioned in previous story, we covered a lot of ground in the twenty-six days. We got to go out and view the eagles in their nest twice while we were there. The first time was on Rick's birthday and we could see one of the young eagles poking his head up out of the nest and were treated to a spectacular aerial display by one of the adults. The second time was with Paul, KJ and Lisa and it looked as though one of the young ones was going to actually fly off! He would perch on the edge of the nest, flap his wings and lift off about 15 feet before coming back down on the nest.We also did get in some kayaking as well as a couple of trips to the ... read more

Finally we made it to Texas even though TX is Summer's home state.

I am going to let the pictures do the talking for me.... read more

San Antonio has been a favorite vacation spot for many years. We began taking Jeffrey there when he was just a youngster - maybe 7 or 8 years old. At the time, we were excited to find an amusement park that adults could enjoy (rides) and the kids also liked (character and music shows); and it was within reasonable driving disance. All through the years, Six Flags Fiesta Texas has met the mark. Even after they were no longer owned by Gaylord/Opery Land, they maintained top quality music shows with really amazing talent. When we began planning our trip for Jeff, we were excited to also include our sister, and new Okie, Terry! Terry just moved to OKC in November having lived in New York for the past 40 plus years. So, we have been having ... read more
