It certainly has been interesting. We're looking forward to the end result and the fact we'll never have to do this again. : )

Thank you.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy your weekend as well!

Thanks! You can say that again. We've had more than our share of contractor shenanigans throughout this past year. That's too bad! The NL's were supposed to be visible two nights here but we just saw them

I love them—one bite instantly transports me to childhood. I think Krystal burgers, down south, are very close in taste to White Castles. Animals are so much smarter than people give them credit for. Haha,

We talking about how vulnerable they must be all the time but Casper was one of the first squirrels we saw after we moved in and he's still around. A few months back he had some bad wounds on his back

Yes, M'am, they do. It's almost like it becomes your full-time job after a while. I'll be so glad to free up my time and mental bandwidth after this is all done. Keeping the contractors on track has proven

You've got that right, Lizelle! It drove us crazy. We're well beyond the halfway point now so the finish line is in sight. : ) We'll only have to stay in a local hotel for three more nights the first week

It sure is!

Thank you Nancy! That's so true, the memories will always be there. I always upload slideshows including all the photos from each trip to YouTube too so I can revisit the trip that way too. The pumpkin

It takes a while to get used to! I think there were around 80 of the Waymo taxis around the city. I've heard that about Texas too! It was scorching hot even in November a few days I was there.

Thank you! It was an enjoyable place to capture. Strangely, this city doesn't seem to carry the same despair as most US cities do, post-pandemic. The Hyatt at the Austin airport certainly has seen better

We have a fairly large Latino population here in St. Paul (my wife is half-Mexican) but I've NEVER had tacos as flavorful as the ones I had in Austin. They were next level. Food trucks have come a long

Thank you for reading!

I swear there was a taco stand or truck on almost every corner and there was plenty of good BBQ.

Thanks!

So glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'll try my best to keep warm. These early days of winter are sometimes the toughest, until the body gets used to it.

You're welcome! It was such a nice break from the plunging temperatures of Minnesota. There's so much I didn't get to do, all the more reasons for a return trip. I'd highly recommend this place if you

For sure, huge influxes of money/people are coming in because so many companies are moving and incorporating there. I'm afraid it's going to turn into another Los Angeles eventually but, for now, it's
