Last week was spring break at Hallsville and University of Missouri. We hadn't seen Ashlynn and Andy since Christmas, so we decided a road trip was in order. We picked up Ellie when she got off work from her evening shift at Ruby Tuesday's and headed south.
We arrived in Austin 14 hours later after driving all night...just in time for lunch. Rudy's BBQ seemed like the best option. We were not disappointed.
Andy took off Monday to show us the area around Texas. We headed SW of Austin to the Hill Wine Country. We stopped by several wineries and sampled several different wines. Our overall impression was that the wines were good, but the wine tastings were not.
Maybe it was a Monday afternoon, but the servers didn’t appear to know much about the wineries or wine and were not in a very talkative mood. Our last stop at Wood Rose was the best. The young lady was happy to see us and knew the basics about her wine. They had a nice outside patio and reasonably priced cheese and cracker plate.
Back in Austin and Andy cooked us his famous sausage pizza for supper. It was great!
Thanks to Ashlynn, Andy and Porter for a great stay!
