A road trip was the plan, a trip made necessary because Emily is moving out of her apartment and flying to NYC. I was ready to leave early this morning, but after hearing the traffic report I decided a brief respite at Starbucks was required. I killed about half an hour there, this allowed the mess on the Katy Freeway to clear itself up. I left around 9:20AM, stopped and filled the car up with gas and then hit the road running. It was a beautiful day for a drive, perfect weather, clear skies and the wildflowers are popping up and adding color to the highway. I arrived in Austin. Emily met me at the apartment. We ran to HEB to solve a few problems and then we went back to her apartment. We walked to a great vegan restaurant called Daily Juice, http://www.dailyjuice.org/blogs/locations this location in Hyde Park is new. After eating lunch, we continued our stroll down Duvall to Quacks. We had coffee and some pastries, wonderful confections! We walked back with loaded stomachs. We loaded the car with Emily's stuff and the futon, and I left to return to Pearland. So, my trip was a grand total of 369 miles and 15.27 gallons of gas and I am grateful to NOT be in my car!
