We're getting ready to visit Texas for the first time since July of last year. This is the longest we've gone without a visit back to Texas.

On our return visits, we've typically spent pretty much all of our time visiting family in Fort Worth. This time we're doing it a little differently and flying to Austin, where we'll stay with a couple friends. Then, my parents are coming down so that we can spend a couple days on vacation in Austin before returning to Fort Worth to spend time with Lesley's family.

I've been busy looking up places to go and things to do in Austin. I'm looking forward to hanging out and having fun with my folks in a different place than normal. And it will be nice to go back to Fort Worth and eat at some places that we've missed. We'll also meet our niece for the first time. So, it should be a fun trip and I'm sure it will go by quickly.
