My birthday weekend

Last Thursday night my inlaws, Pat and Don, arrived for their visit in Texas. Eric and I drove to Austin to pick them up. Friday the girls did some shopping and the boys...guess what... did some car stuff .... also partially thanks to me- I ruined one of Sally's tires when I went to Austin last week. Thanks guys!!! In the evening we put on our Dirndl and Lederhosen and went to Walburg. Some German dude opened a really great Biergarden there which is very famous for the area. We all had a blast with Radler, Bratwurst, Currywurst, and Yodel music!!!

Saturday we all went to Austin. At a mall we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen- I discovered that restaurant with my Dad in California and they have my favorite pizza dish! The mall was nice too. Everything is outside and we had great weather for that. After the mall we went to THE CONTAINER STORE!!!!!!!! I was in heaven! Since I've heard of that store a couple of years ago I wanted to go to one. I think it's a great store filled with things that you don't really need but makes organizing and decorating so much more fun and easy!... well, I think you need all the things in the store.... boxes in every imaginable shape- Matt, you'd have loved it too!!!







Then we made our way home and went to dinner at Plucker's- Eric's and my favorite (chicken) wing place in Killeen. Don and I tried some of their signature drinks: I had Jane's (or was it Jenny's?) Juice and Don has the Psychedelic Frog. They both were delicious of course. The Plucker's crew even sang for me...and I had to do the chicken dance.







Sunday was just a lazy day with napping, snickers cake and barbecue. Monday we will drive to Austin again and drop of Pat and Don at the airport.
It was a great weekend!
