Austin weekend

Wes and I went to Austin a day early. It Saturday eveing...oh no It was "Batfest" and couldnt get near it. I guess they have a weekend they clebrate the bats flying out from under the bridge, which they do every night... We wasnt going for that anyways, we went to a restraunt called "Threadgills". Not too bad of a wait 30 minutes or so... afterwards we drove around and up and down 6th street, just sightseeing.
On Sunday we met Larry and his family at the airport and all headed over to one of Aunt Kathryns favorite Bar B Q places, she took everyone for good old Texas Bar B Q...They were closed, so disappointing but found Green Mesquite Bar B Q across the road in a shopping center that was open... Had good lunch and visited. After lunch Larry and his family went back to airport to pick up Vicki. So we went back to change for the service and met at the church. Had a nice memorial service and her Tx church was very gracious to us.
After the reception we all headed over to Uncle Gene grave and took pictures and sprinkled a cup of Aunt Kathryn ashes over Gene grave.
Larry and his family and Vicki left about 7:30 to drive to Tivoli Tx, near the gulf coast, where Aunt Kathryn ashes would be buried next to Uncle Clayton this morning.
It was nice to able to put faces with names for Gene daughters and family. Wish I had taken a picture of Uncle Clayton sister and her daughter.
