Last Day in Burnet…
Today was our last day with the family here in Burnet. Lowell, Brandi, Chris and Linda all head back to Houston this morning.
But first we all had lunch together at Brother’s Bakery in Marble Falls. Brother’s is the bakery that made Brandi and Lowell’s great wedding cake.
But today we wanted to have lunch at the cafe that’s part of the bakery. They have great soups, sandwiches, muffins, and breads.
Some of us had breakfast, others had soup and sandwiches, All good. Linda got a loaf of Multi-Grain bread to go, and Jan and I got a couple of muffins for breakfast tomorrow.
After lunch we all got in our last goodbye hugs, and we headed back to the rig, while everyone else started back to Houston.
After lazing around the rig in the afternoon, and even getting in a short nap, about 5pm we drove over to The Maxican restaurant where we all ate the other night. Jan and I both had the same thing, Marsha’s Plate, a chili rellano stuffed with shredded chicken and Monterey Jack cheese, with 3 Angels on Horseback. The Angels are jumbo shrimp stuffed with jalapeno strips and Monterey Jack cheese, then wrapped in bacon and grilled. Fantastic!
On our way to the restaurant we stopped by the park office and dropped off a bunch of Gypsy Journal RV Newspapers for them to give out.
Coming back to the rig we stopped by Walgreens to get some ant traps. Apparently the local Formicidae have found our rig attractive and some have moved in. Hopefully this will take card of them.
Back at the rig I started putting some things away, getting us ready for hitting the road tomorrow. Then about 7:30 Nick Russell emailed me asking about a restaurant we found in Morro Bay, CA when we were there.
Tomorrow morning we leave here for Lake Pointe RV Park in Canyon Lake about 80 miles south of here near New Braunfels.
