Family Visit... the extended version

My dad, stepmom, adoptive sister & nephew got here last week... Wednesday night.  They're doing a tour of the middle part of the US - visiting relatives in Missouri and friends in Arkansas and then us in Texas.  We did the traditional tour of the University on Thursday, and drove by the Whole Foods cuz that's what you're supposed to do.  Friday we drove out to Fredericksburg and wandered around the Pacific War museum (my dad's a kind of a war buff and the town's really cute).  Headed back and had some dinner and then realized that their air conditioning really didn't work well.

So we took the car in at 8 am on a Saturday morning to get the air conditioner recharged.  After that we'd planned to go to Barton Springs and do some swimming to cut down on the heat. 

( sadly, it was not to be )

Luckily it's out now, and everything's going to be ok.  Unfortunately, my dad's still not feeling particularly well (completely understandable) so he's passed out asleep.  We're tucked into the airconditioned house watching Season 3 Buffy (yay for 16 year old adoptive sisters who like it too!!) while everybody else plays on the computer and my stepmom cooks because (I think) she feels bad about having been camped out in our house.

( It's hard to explain to someone that you're a control freak )
