Our trip to Austin, TX

We decided to take a quick trip to Austin and check out some sights the weekend before Thanksgiving. Of course, we stayed in a hotel, which I'm sure was the highlight for the kids. We stopped along the way at the Texas Ranger Museum. This was a winner for Eli & Komi. Lots of guns! We went to the Austin flea market (wouldn't recommend it to anyone!) soon after we checked into the hotel. Dinner at Golden Corral was next(cheap, and not bad). The pool wasn't open (darn it) so we spent the evening watching cable. Yeeha. The next day we visited the Texas History museum downtown and drove past the capitol building (kids weren't interested in going inside since we spent 2 hours in the history museum). However, Inner Space Caverns (just outside of Austin in Georgetown) were the most interesting of all the places we visited. It was so beautifully weird, like being on a different planet. Everywhere you looked there were fascinating and unique formations. It's underground and stretches for miles, with lots of it not even explored as of yet. They have found dino bones down there, also. Lots of bats live in the caves, too. They weren't scary, just tiny and cute. They would fly really close to you, but swerve just as you thought it might hit you. Never thought I would hear myself say bats were cute, but they really were. Komi and I took pics mostly of the caves, since they were the most visually interesting. Enjoy.
