Sunday, April 23
We attended church with Pat and Burgess at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church, their local church, and really enjoyed meeting some of their friends. The service was great too, as it was a special musical program presented by the children - they did a great job along with the musical team who directed them. It was a great way to start the day.
After church we had lunch at the Buchanan's local Italian restaurant, and were joined by Lorraine and Jack. The food was fabulous and we had a great lunch.
We made a quick pit stop at home to get changed and then we headed into Austin for the big adventure - a Segway tour! Apart from Burgess none of us had been on a Segway, so there was some trepidation as Alex our instructor and tour guide showed us the basics. We had a bit of practice as we rode around the grounds of the Capitol building, and then it was time to hit the streets. During the 1.5 hour tour we went from rank amateurs to confident riders, and really enjoyed the experience. We also enjoyed learning about the history of Austin and the downtown area, as well as more about the Capitol.
We were excited about our achievements and the buzz that comes from doing something for the first time. It was good to relax a bit at home before Keith (Pat & Burgess' son) and his 2 daughters dropped in for a visit. It was great meeting them all as we had heard so much about them.
We had a quiet night in just chatting and watching some tv, as there is another big day planned for tomorrow.
