Going Underground

Last month we had a very special visitor, MAGGIE! Probably our favorite part of South Carolina, she gets to visit a few times a year and we always enjoy it. This time, it was cool and rainy most of her time in Texas so we were quite choosy in our activities, with the outdoors not being an option.

Kelly Ann and I treated her to dinner at Alamo Drafthouse. The movie wasn't great, but I loved the drafthouse. How can you beat dinner and drinks via a waitress while you're in a movie theatre?!

Kelly Ann and a friend took Maggie to a concert at a dancehall. The old fogies stayed at home and put the kids to bed.

We also enjoyed quite a few delicious meals like salmon, shrimp and strawberry shortcake. I think Maggie was concerned she would have to endure our restaurant hiatus, but I don't think we mistreated her.

Our only toursit outing was Innerspace Caverns, a nearby underground cavern. It wasn't as spacious as Carlsbad Caverns that we grew up going to, but the stalagmites and stalagtites were still impressive.

We can't wait for Maggie's next visit! Hopefully next time the weather will allow us to stay above ground.
