March 25 - Todd and Jess arrived at 11:05 am and after getting them settled at the RV we headed downtown stopping at Mission San Jose. Once downtown we toured the Alamo, then down to the riverwalk to tour the river on a barge. Before returning to the RV park we stopped at Augies Barbed Wire Smokehouse BBQ for ribs. http://www.augiesbs.com/ March 26 - We left early for a trip into the hill country stopping first at Gruene. By the time we visited a few shops, had a delicious lunch at Adobe Verde a rustic Mexican restaurant it was time for a stop at the Gruene Dance Hall. To our surprise the hall was packed with locals enjoying the live entertainment and dance floor. Jess loved the dance hall but we had to continue on to Bandera. The 11th Street Bar was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday afternoon but we stopped in to the Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar Bar. We spent an amusing couple of hours watching and listening to the Pickers Circle who like Luckenbach locals show up to play and sing together. This is Rick with John our new friend in Bandera. We met him when we were with Bob and Nancy and ran in to him again today. He is a lawyer and loves to sit and listen to the music in the bars. Yes, he really dresses like this every day. He is the real deal and an extemely kind and polite man. Before leaving Bandera we stopped for BBQ. March 27 - We spent the day shopping at San Marcos Prime Outlet Mall. Bob and Nancy had us over for a wonderful 40th Anniversary dinner. Thanks Bob and Nancy!!!! March 28 - We spent a relaxing morning before yet another BBQ meal back at Augies before dropping Todd and Jess at the airport for their flight home. Todd said he wanted BBQ and and shoppingwhen he got here. He got plenty of both and he loved it. Todd and Jess had a great visit in Texas and we had a great visit with them. Loved having you both!!! The only thing that would have made it better would be Tyson, Karlee and Cooper as well.
