Sunday was a wonderfully lazy day in Sweeney. Eloise Pantalone made an incredible lunch of chicken spaghetti for everyone and it was held again at the Akin's home. Tara and I spent the day in the back yard by the pool, reading, relaxing and playing with her younger cousins. That night we stayed at Eloise's. Upon Tara's request we watched Star Wars: Episode I, as she has neglected to see the most recent trilogy. Her only comment was that the acting was horrendous. I'm not sure if I should tell her that it doesn't get any better.
We drove back to Austin on Monday and made plans with Chris, Kristen and Lynn Sheppard for dinner that night. The entire afternoon Tara was anxious, asking if we could call our friends in NYC who were expecting a child at some point that day. The Matyjasiks welcomed their daughter Millie Claire at 3:45 EST and notified the world at 6 EST. Happy and relaxed, Tara and I headed out to the Roaring Fork on Congress and 6th Street to enjoy an outstanding dinner with great company.
Our last full day in Austin. I awoke early once again and traveled north to Round Rock to play Teravista Golf Course. I've had success in the past just showing up to a course and getting worked into the mix. Unfortunately, Teravista was packed and they couldn't get a single out until after 10 am. Seeing as it was 7 am, I decided to go to a municipal course called Bluebonnet that was nearby instead. It was great course to play on my final day, easy enough that I birdied three holes, but hard enough that I felt like I deserved those birdies. The rest of the day was spent doing laundry, packing, and deciding upon what should be left behind (most of our dining supplies since we are not expecting to camp out or cookout). Our last meal was some delicious fried chicken from Golden Chick.
