Austin, Texas - Part II

Presenting.......... the night scene of Austin!
Horse-drawn carriages on the streets!

USA Sports Car - Corvette


Oh! Hubby went out with his friends coz I had to stay in the hotel to help Megan settle down for the night. It has been a long day for her and I don't want to overtire her. It's only the beginning of the trip.

But look at what they had for dinner!

Alaska Crabs!

Red Fish!

All paid for by the US government! Boohoohoo... I had bread and canned tuna for dinner! Boohoohoo!

Do not disturb me before my morning coffee.

Nope, I won't be swayed by your fake cries! I need my caffeine!


Hmmm, I'll look for someone else to bother then.

What about you? Are you free?

Yeah! Mom's done with her coffee. Let's see if I can reach for that phone while Mom's away.

Awww shucks!

Well, we left the hotel and headed for San Antonio. There is going to be 2 stops before we reach San Antonio. First stop is the Prime Outlet at San Marcos.

My playground! You can see the tears of joy in my eyes and the tears of pain in my hubby's.



Did you see all those shops??? OMG!!! It was endless and we only entered into one section of the outlet. There was another entire section just like this which we had no time to go! 3 hours of shopping time only! It's so cruel!

Anyway, it was like the amazing race, dashing through all the shops at top speed. It's so sad when I had to leave.

Especially when we couldn't even participate in the next stop. They were going tubing down the river. My girl was underage, so........ *sigh*

There was nothing nearby for us to do. So we hang out at a biker's bar (it's the only place available) and waited for them to finish.



Did I mention how good she was on these road trips? She puts up with anything and is always in a good mood despite having no food or proper sleep throughout the bus ride.

We finally reached San Antonio! It's a really really really nice place. So nice that I wished we stay here instead of El Paso. Sigh...

Everyone's tired and hungry. Megan's doing her beauty routine.


Okay mom, so it's cleanse, tone then moisturise?

Hello? Room Service? Can I get a large sundae and fries? Hurry, before my mom gets out of the bath or there's no tips for you!

We were all tired but I wanted to go out for dinner coz they were going to the Rainforest Cafe. It is suppose to be a rainforest themed cafe. Sounds fun! How can we miss that? So off we go. Megan's a trooper! It's way past her bedtime.

MOM! Look at the big gorilla!

The picture looks a little sadistic huh? Me smiling away happily while the girl looks terrified? And just what was it that scares her? Just about everything in the cafe! Particularly this:

Scary little fellow isn't it? Especially so when accompanied with movements and sound effects.

That's Sophia. She's from Taiwan and accompanied her hubby for the same course Kevin's attending. This is her honeymoon! They just got married before coming on this trip.

Eh... we forgot to take pictures of the restaurant. The entire place was dark and has vines and huge birds, giant butterflies, gorillas and snakes! Fake of course! Hahahaha. Megan didn't seems to like the place. She tries to climb out of her high chair everytime the special effects start, like the sound of the rain, the gorillas roaring and snakes hissing.

But then, the next day, she kept pestering us to bring her back. And kept asking to look for the alligators. AIYO!

Oh! We are going to the Sea World tomorrow.... updates coming soon.
