Hi y'all,
Today we drove from Dallas to Austin. We saw so many beautiful fields of wild flowers along the way plus some really cool barns which screamed Texas spirit.  Some even had the state flag painted on them. We had breakfast at Chubby's and no one leaves skinny walking out of a place called Chubby's.






















After we ate we hit the road again and stopped at Waco to check out the campus of Baylor University.  This is where my grandma went to college.  It was a beautiful campus and the buildings were all made of red brick.

After Baylor we drove on down to Austin.  One thing I noticed as we drove through Texas is that a lot of people have a star on their house which shows true Texas spirit. I think that is very neat.

We drove into downtown Austin and checked into our room at the Driskill Hotel.  It is a historic hotel and was built in 1886.  I like the old telephones!

Cool phone

We finished off the day with a great steak dinner and tomorrow we are ready to explore some more of the lone star state.
