We had a lazy morning at home. Leann had to work from 1:30-6. We did lunch first together at Olive Garden, since I had a gift certificate and there was one right by the mall where she is working. We dropped her off, and then ventured out in all of the traffic--last full day of work and shopping for people, so it was madness.
Okay, so we have covered bookstores, computer, and toystores--what's left? Why, Cabela's, of course. It's located south of town, so we had plenty of time to do the trip. Wil just loves watching people walk out with full gun cases--something you don't see in California. Lots and lots of families shopping at Cabela's--the Texas attitude does a hunter's heart good. We actually only bought clothes there this day. I live in my comfy slide shoes from them, and they had my favorite tote purse in pink--must haves. Wil picked up his favorite shirt and a hideous orange hunting hat for the Fryerland jaunts.
From the south area, we tried to navigate back on the east side, to explore more of what the area and distances actually look like. We checked out another tract by the same builder we had seen before--closer in maybe, but dicier area. We were able to see a couple more models to compare and prices were lower in this neighborhood.
On our way back to pick up Leann, we stopped at Ginger's to drop a couple quilts off, and to say hello to Ginger, with whom I have done business for years.
Just before 6, traffic had lightened up, so we got to Leann just in time. What to do next--dinner or a movie? Wait, it's Austin--we can do both!!!--at the Alamo Drafthouse, just across the way. So we check the trusty iPhone, and movie times are perfect. We saw Australia, with a great grill dinner and draft beer. Doesn't get any better than this.
