Dinner in Ft Worth

We went to Fireside Pies for dinner at Kyle's old officemate Casey's recommendation and it was very good. We then had an ice cream sandwich of blue bell ice cream between cookies at Sweet Sammie's. It was a fun evening!

Just coming into Dallas

Seems appropriate that there is a Bud truck...

Cracker Barrel

Kyle and I are headed to the Dallas area for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary and explore a new area! On the way, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for lunch, which is a chain restaurant that I've never been to. I got the recommended chicken and dumplings, along with fried apples, fried okra, and turnip greens, and now I have a stomachache! Kyle's catfish was pretty good, anyway.

Spray Park Hike

It's been a little bit, but Kyle and I got to do a hike at Spray Park with Bernard. It was a beautiful day, and right afterward (after a shower...) we flew back to Texas.

Skillet Cornbread

We shared a skillet cornbread appetizer at NxNW today. It had goat
cheese and mushrooms in a chicken broth. Interesting combination and
very tasty!

Hike from Lake Lillian to Alta Peak

I had a chance to squeeze in a couple of hikes while in Seattle for work in July. One was from Lake Lillian over a ridge to the Rampart Lakes and up to Alta Peak, just off I-90. It was a beautiful day!

Friends Visit Austin

Some friends visited Kyle and me in Austin to hang out, use some travel funds that needed spending, and work on a collaboration with Kyle. It was great to get to spend time with them!
