4th of July Weekend in the Oldest Town in Texas
This weekend we have just taken it easy. We left Austin on Thursday and took a scenic drive to Nacogdoches, stopping along the way at interesting sights like the world's largest Longhorn and the world's largest birdhouse. We arrived in Nac, just a little before my sister and her family arrived from Houston. The rest of the long weekend has been spent just enjoying family. On Friday, we had a lot of fun going geocaching. This is a family hobby that I introduced about 4 years ago. It has really taken off with Juli and her family. We not only found caches, but we also checked on caches we had hidden. We watched a wimpy fireworks display from the mall parking lot. On Saturday, we went on a nice tour of my alumni Stephen F. Austin State University. My nephew Chase is thinking about going to school here next year. We would love for him to be the 3rd generation of our family to go to this great university. One fun thing that happened was that I showed my nephew how to text Google to find information. Luckily he has an unlimited texting plan because he starting texting questions to Google in great numbers. If you have a text plan on your phone, you can call the numbers that represent GOOGLE and then ask a question like define: metamaniacal or weather:98274. Chase immediately saw great uses for this as a learning tool. On Sunday, we enjoyed a nice church service and lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant and then just had a lazy afternoon. This was great since, I have come down with a really nasty cold. No fun! Hopefully, I will be getting better soon.
