Allen, Texas

Saturday, April 15

After breakfast we drove straight back to Allen, where Bill and Linda live. We had a drive around the Allen area, and saw some of the beautiful wild flowers growing amongst the grass near the roadside. The famous blue bonnets were so colourful and numerous, along with pink and white buttercups.

The afternoon was scheduled for a tour of the local Nine Bands micro brewery, as well as tasting some of their craft beers. The beers went really well with the pizzas that were ordered in, and we also caught up with Andy (Bill and Linda's son) and his wife Tonya there, and we had a good fun afternoon.

Later in the day we did a 1 hour walk around the Twin Creeks estate and golf course. There was great excitement when I stood on a snake on the path, but it was a harmless one. Next up we saw a turkey in the open, which Bill and Linda had never seen before on the estate in all the time they've lived here! It was a lovely sunset as another fabulous day in Texas came to an end.
