Just like home

On the way out of Austin, it is always a good idea to stop by the Oasis restaurant on Lake Travis.  Today was no exception.  The only drawback was the chilly temperature and the strong winds blowing on the lake.  It was about 64 degrees with a hefty wind blowing.  We tried to sit outside, as is our custom, but in the end, we wound up indoors.  It turns out that sitting inside with a view of the lake is also pretty great.  Additionally, if you are anywhere near a path where a waiter walks past with a steaming plate of fajitas, you don’t really need a menu.  The smell is pretty persuasive. 

No surprise, here- Cas and I had the fajitas.  We also had some drinks that came in fancy hurricane glasses.   

The waiter let us know that we could keep the souvenir glasses.  Of course, we knew that.  We actually had a pair of them at the house until my natural ability to break things left us with just one.  When he said we could take the glasses home, I mentioned that we could make fancy drinks and have them in the backyard.  I said, “Our backyard is just like this, except there’s no lake and it’s not as pretty.”  

Pretty much the same except for that.  

Anyhow, back on the road, Cas found an outdoor sculpture garden in Salado for us to enjoy while we walked around and stretched our legs.  We’re back on the road again, headed for Fort Worth, where we most assuredly have to stop at the Reata and have a cocktail on their upstairs patio- also one of our things.  I hope the winds are all keeping to the greater Austin area so we can have a leisurely time up there. See you back in the metroplex!
