It was just an option anyway, most folks might be burned out by then

Couple of things-

Can't make the trial run today, actually feeling kind of lousy so I may just go finish some Christmas shopping instead and sleep it off afterwards or something, or not.

In regards to lunch at Blanco or eating in Fredricksburg etc., I would highly recommend we find somewhere else besides the bavarian inn if we do decide to eat in "the burg". That place used to be awesome, used to have good food and great service, and used to be constanyly crowded. I think they must have changed owners or something because when I took my mother there earlier in the year it sucked. I took her on Mother's Day as she's of German decent and that was one of her favorite German restaraunts. We get there and for it being an absolutely perfect day weather wise on Mother's Day in touristy Fredricksburg, it's suspicously without customers and practically empty, this was during lunch time, and mind you, the town itself was packed with people. We walk in, it takes forever for someone to finally come up front to get our names to be seated, they give us the little buzzer thingie, and we go sit outside and wait and wait and wait until afternoticing people who came in after us are getting seated, I go inside and ask wtf? is going on. We finally get seated, and Flo from Mel's Diner is our waitress and really not doing to well service wise, then we get our food and it's okay, but not "I just drove all the way from Austin with my mother" okay, and it's not like it was cheap either. I know there's better places than that, one of the other reasons I pondered Marble Falls as an addition is because it has good places to eat, instead of being limited to the Silver K in Johnson City. It does add some time and distance to an already lengthy day though so I guess we'll make the call when we leave Fredricksburg and see how many people want to go etc.
It's all just ideas, it's just as easy sticking to the original plan as that was a blast last year anyway

 

Like I said, I am open to doing anything, I have nothing to do besides this cruise so I dont care how long it takes. Im not to picky with food as long as its not some over the top foreign food place where I have no idea what im eating. As long as they have a good burger, Im fine. I wouldnt even care if it was Burger King or something. I get to leave at 4am on saturday morning from work so I can get an extra 2 hours of sleep. Ill see you at 10am at Albersons!

 

hey randall - looking forward to this. any idea about many people are going? just curious. bringing my girl - it's her birthday so we'll cut out at at a decent time (johnson city) for some late dinner plans, but otherwise we don't really care, like phantom, all routes/ideas sound cool, as long as we see xmas lights at the end, we're good!! see you around 10am i guess...

 

No real idea as of yet, I know a lot of people know about it, just not sure how many are wanting/or can go etc.

 

HUGE thanks to all who came out today, awesome turnout, perfect weather (aside from the stupid wind) and not too much traffic aside from a few annoyances here and there and today was just buttah!

Thank for coming out and putting up with me as your drive leader, I'll have pics up soon!
