Austin: Day Three

Today, after breakfast, we played tennis at the Residence Inn's mini-tennis court. After we had enough chasing the ball around we joined Jackie and Berna at the pool. We were the only ones there and the temperature was perfect for a swim. For lunch we went to Chick-fil-A. Jackie needed to have a good meal, yes, some good chicken fingers :)

While we were getting ready to go out for lunch, Jackie asked if we all arrived here on earth on January 1. I had to ask if she meant me, daddy, her, and Berna. She said all of us, all the people. Boy, I struggled answering the question. Don to the rescue LOL. He explained evolution and told her the story of the white butterflies in England that evolved over 100 years ago into black butterflies.

When we returned to our room after lucnh, the maid had already changed the linens and the towels, and cleaned the counter tops. The bathroom smelled good - citrusy. Tonight, we'll cruise back to Downtown Austin to check out the nightlife.

For the rest of the afternoon we'll just chill in our room - it is now almost 5 p.m. Jackie is playing Wii - Super Paper Mario. It was Jackie's personal request to bring the gaming console. When she asked me about bringing the system before the trip I told her that system might get stolen in the hotel room. She then reminded me that it did not get stolen when we took it with us to North Myrtle Beach last year. Since daddy said it was alright, then it was good for me too.
