The Weekend In Pictures

We had a very busy and fun weekend. For anyone who hasn't perused our Flickr site, let me explain. No, there is no time. Let me sum up.

Friday night after work, I stopped on the way home to pick up a pallet of sod for the front yard.

When I got home, I saw my son's newly-lifted pickup in my driveway. We weren't expecting them, so it was a very pleasant surprise.

The next morning, I laid out the sod in the part of the front yard I'd prepared the previous weekend. When the sod was in the truck, I thought I had WAY too much. As it turns out, I could have used about 6 more squares. Oh well. I think it will suffice.

After the sod work was done, we loaded up the truck and we headed to Austin. There, we picked up our 19 yr old daughter so she could give us a tour of her school, THE University of Texas.

After three hours of tromping around the UT campus, we ate dinner at my favorite Austin Mexican restaurant... Not Chuy's, not Baby Acapulco (those are favorite Mexican DRINKING restaurants)...

On Sunday, we drove down I-35 to visit my in-laws. My father-in-law turns 80 this week. His wife (my step-mom-in-law) has had several major surgeries recently, so we wanted to check on them.

We finally got home around 6:30pm on Sunday. It was a wonderful roadtrip and, as usual, I needed to go back to the office today in order to get some rest :)

Tomorrow morning, I'm off to Mexico City, the kidnapping capital of the world, even though the US State Department has issued a travel alert for Mexico: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_3028.html
