Austin Fun

My friend Jason drove in from College Station with his lovely children, O and L, for a day's visit with me in Austin. They are awesome kids and when (more like if) they misbehave, Jason shuts them down in a sec with a word or two in French. Tre cool.

We went to see the movie "Hubble" at the IMAX. Totally blew our minds. Since it is in 3D, you need these lovely red glasses, but they certainly are better than what one would normally get at the movies-- they actually fit over your real glasses!


The IMAX theater is attached to the Story of Texas history museum. It is very well done, and I highly recommend it. One of the docents, John, took a special likely to us (how could he resist the kiddos?) and took us through the early history of Texas. O and L even got to dress as conquistadors.



Between you and me, I think that L makes a much more imposing Buffalo Soldier:


After the museum, a swim at Barton Springs... but that will be another post.
