We had breakfast with Herb and JoNell.  During breakfast we had a small visitor outside the window, Gerri shot this video.  Herb and JoNell said it was a "show me your money" lizard.

After our goodbyes said and pictures were taken we hit the road at about 11:30.

Our route was basically west to Waco on US-84 and then south on I-35 toward Austin.  North of Austin we picked up the TX-130 toll road, which by passes the city traffic.  We got off the toll road near Lockhart and drove to Curtis and Dana's on FM-150, coming in what we had always considered the back way.  We arrived at about 4:30.  The trip was a little over 5 hours and we only made one stop for fuel.

As we pulled up to the house we saw Brandon going in and Vanessa across the street playing with her friends.  This seems to be another Barker B&B.  Gerri's brother Roger is here as part of his trip and also to help Michelle with a couple of shows in the area.  Of course sister-in-law Michelle is here, she had one show in San Antonio last week and a two day show in Austin this weekend.

Curtis got home after 5 and we all visited for a while.  Curtis took Brandon to baseball practice.  We had supper while they were gone.

Curtis and Dana gave up their room to Roger, who can't do stairs.  Michelle used Vanessa's room, we slept in in the game room and all the resident Barkers slept in Brandon's room.  When Brandon and Vanessa went to bed they were arguing.  When the rest of us went to bed we saw that they had put up a barrier between the air mattresses they were sleeping on.

After the kids went to bed we all visited some more, caught up on computer or watched TV. Everyone was in bed by 10:30.  I read until about midnight.
