Bobby's Family Visits the ATX

Bobby's sister, her husband, and their two kids drove down from Athens, Georgia to visit us.  Saturday we went to Round Top and Winedale, TX for a couple of Shakespeare plays put on by UT in a cute barn.  Bobby's sister was involved with this program when she was in school. 

You can't tell in the photo too well, but each of Bobby's family members has a piece of grass in their mouths like Shakespeare on the banner.  His niece, Sarah, is 11 and his nephew, Sachio, is 8.  They are incredibly smart and polite!

We ate at a delicious cafe in Round Top called Royer's.  The yellow sign to the right says that they were just featured on CBS Morning Edition.  I had an amazing pork tenderloin with a spicy peach glaze and butterscotch chip pie.  I'm still thinking about the pie.

Sunday morning we watched the Man vs. Food Austin episode where Adam goes to The Salt Lick BBQ, Round Rock Donuts, and then does the Don Juan challenge at Juan in a Million.  So where did we go for lunch?  The Salt Lick in Driftwood, TX.

After a nice siesta we drove up to Round Rock and got a "Texas Sized" Round Rock Donut to continue with our Man vs. Food tour.  So, so, yummy.

 

After Round Rock Donuts and a trip to Ikea we went to a Round Rock Express Baseball game.  They are the Astros feeder team.  Next year they will be the Rangers feeder team which is Bobby's favorite team.  This is his trying to look cool face.

Sachio gets up every morning around 7:00 AM to watch ESPN and is a baseball fan.

It was Kids' Night so after the game the kids (and Bobby) got to run the bases.

I'm having a great time with our out of town visitors.  I wish I would have taken off from work so I could have gone to Juan in a Million this morning for breakfast and then later the Dell Children's Museum.
