Visit to Texas: Part One--Kimberly's Graduation

On May 14, We headed to Texas again, only this time to Austin and San Marcos to see my baby sister graduate from college. She started out down the path of nursing school, but quickly realized that was not for her. The ended up focusing on Communications instead at Texas State University in their College of Fine Arts. We helped her move out of her apartment the day before (OMG...I'm so glad I am not a college student anymore) and dined at the Gristmill Restaurant and Bar. Most of the place is outside and the tables run along a bank that over looks the Guadalupe River (See Grant Below). It is a spectacular setting located in Gruene, TX where there are many cute little shops and B&Bs. If you are ever in the Austin area, this is a great place to visit. Here's Chloe taking it all in...

The next day, we were up bright and early for the graduation. We got great seats and I was able to snap a photo of Kimberly getting her Diploma. Chloe was very good and slept though most of it, but at least she was there!

We had Her graduation lunch/dinner at the Macaroni Grill near our hotel. Since we were early we were one of the only parties in the restaurant, which is always good when you have a baby. I highly recommend the house wine, which is very good and reasonably priced.

We went out on 6th Street in Austin to celebrate! Chloe, Richard and Mom decided to go on a Carriage ride with Chloe so grant and I could have some adult time out. Chloe spewed all over Richard, which made for a few laughs....

Grant and I at the Library Bar in Austin! No reading or studying going on here....
