We are trying to visit as many of Anna's favorite restaurants, which she can't drive to or can't afford or just wants to share with us. This morning, we visited Kerbey Lane and ordered what are billed as 1/2 pancakes. So, two should make a whole but two make a giant feast. We enjoyed strawberry and pumpin pancakes.
Time to pick up the U-Haul and move Anna to her new apartment -- two blocks away from the duplex. There is no elevator but she's only on the 2nd floor. Anna wondered why new apartments can't be like the old ones, so she can put stuff away faster, I imagine. She also said that one day we'll see her as she normally lives, not just packing and unpacking. Not counting our trip to look for an apartment, this is our second trip to Austin and both times we've been moving her.
Off to shop for a couch: at places called Room Service, Goodwill, Savers and Top Drawer Thrift. The last one had a couch for $50 Anna had already seen, but it was too big for her living room. A new blue loveseat had just come in, hadn't been priced, but sold to Anna for the same cost. Back to the apartment with her new piece, with time to drop off the rental by 6:30 pm!
We picked up BBQ at Ruby's for a picnic at the Bat Bridge. There were lots of bugs in the air, which might explain why the bats came out earlier than last time. We didn't see the chihuahua (you might remember if you are loyal follower of my Austin blogs). I caught a bit of their flight on video:
And a picture:
We got in the car and Matt said (from the back seat), "This isn't going to work". He was trying to put his t-shirt back on with the seatbelt buckled!
We took a drive toward the Capitol building. During the day, it looks putty in color, but at night it's gray. Matt said it was the light bulbs.
We took Anna to our hotel to watch TV, then back to her new place.
