Random Tuesday

I'm linking up with Stacy!

I almost forgot today was the day to post.  We've been in Austin on a short getaway.  We went to take care of our granddogs, but we found some fun things to do while we were there.

We enjoyed a visit to Driftwood Winery in Dripping Springs, not a far drive.  It was beautiful!  And I found a wine I really liked.  I learned about muscat grapes.  The Italian word for muscat is moscato, one of my favorite wines.  The Driftwood wine I like is a sparkling muscat wine similar to prosecco called Starry Nights.  It pops like champagne when it is opened. And it is delicious!
We're staying in our daughter's apartment while she is on vacation, but we are headed home today.  It's a four hour or less drive.  Here's the grandogs we've been taking care of.
We also were able to watch the sunset from the rooftop of the building.
While in Austin, we were within walking distance of some great restaurants, the original Chuy's and Terry Black's BBQ.  The brisket at Black's will melt in your mouth!
We also walked around Zilker Park with the dogs.

And not to ignore our other daughter, we have another new granddog named Luna, and she is adorable!
Isn't she adorable?

And we are so proud of our Astros who made the All Star Team!  5 of them!

Have a good week!

  2. That's great, that the dogs can be home and not stressed in a kennel, and you get some time to visit a different place, like a mini-vacation. You do have lovely grand-dogs!
