We stayed in Austin for 4 nights, on the northern side of town. We took a day trip to San Antonio, where we saw the Alamo and walked along the Riverwalk. We also visited the Mission San Jose (in San Antonio!) and were amazed at the size of the place and how well preserved it is. On the way back to Auston we had dinner at the Famous Salt Lick BBQ restaurant in Driftwood Texas. Good food, great ambiance.
Next day was spent at TechShop, making christmas cards. The Original Plan had been to use the laser cutter to create something, but when we checked the calendar a few days earlier, all 4 machines were booked solid. Like it was the Holidays, or something. So we made cards the old school way, with paper and rubber stamps and other decorations.
That evening we had dinner with a long-time TechShop staff member (Robert) and his family. We had planned to go see the Lights in the Park, but it was sold out long before we realized we needed tickets. So we had a leisurely dinner, and afterwards Robert showed us around Georgetown, ending with Pie at a cool diner call The Monument.
Next day was a car tour of downtown Austin - we were feeling pretty worn out by this time, so we went back to the hotel and finished the christmas cards, and packed for our next stop.
