San Antonio -- Last day

Monday was our last full day in Texas. We left pretty early in the morning for Austin. First we met up with Doug at Quakenbush's. I left Nikki there with him and drove Georgie around for a nap. After her nap, we met Elizabeth, Graham, and Dean at the Austin Zoo. I've never been there before. It's a rescue zoo and it has a nice mix of animals and a lovely Hill Country setting.

By then House Park BBQ was closed, so we met Adam and Kevin at Phil's Ice House. I had one of my favorite burgers and we ordered Georgie her first kids meal ever.

Kevin rode back to San Antonio with us and we met my parents at Alamo Cafe. We got there a little early so we had time to play around in a little wooded area outside the restaurant.

The trip ended with my parents taking Georgie on a stroller ride around their neighborhood. Oh wait, the trip actually ended with me hugging the toilet bowl at 2am because of something I ate. But that's another story.

Here's the lion before he got offended at my presence.


And after.


The zoo had a large area where you could feed pellets to goats, sheep, deer, and llamas. This goat in particular was pretty aggressive.


It was pretty hot, but Georgie stayed well hydrated.
