We're back!!!

We went to Gruene on Tuesday and it was such a neat place. We ate at the Gristmill like Alli and Pups suggested. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great!! After we ate we went to the general store, sat at the ice cream counter and ate an ice cream. Too cool! :) Oh, Punky helped a small child steal a lolli-pop from the store! He couldn't quite get on the stool to reach the HUGE lolli-pop so Punky handed it to him. He said 'thanks' as he grabbed it and hauled ass out of the store. HAHAHAHA. We both were in shock. A couple minutes later he came back in with a shit eating grin on his face, along with his grandpa - and they paid for the candy. Cracked us up!

Ma and Dad would LOVE that place. Unfortunately we got there around 4:30 and lots of the shops were closing down. Not sure why they would close around 5pm, but ok. We did go inside a couple stores and walked around the entire place. :) We highly recommend it.

We left Gruene and headed for San Marcos. We saw 2 signs for the Tanger Outlet Mall and the Prime Outlet Mall. Yay!!! Punky was in hog heaven... as was I of course. Tanger wasn't as big as Prime. WOW! That place was huge!! She got a few things for herself and a couple for me... then said... Let's go into the Coach store and find you a purse. OK!! :) Hurt me. Even the clearance purses were $250. That's just insane. So - we went down to the Dooney store and Punky bought me the perfect purse!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I've wanted a Dooney since middle school. Too cool :) Happy Birthday and Anniversary. lol

We spend quite a bit of time at the outlet stores and had the best time there!! The clouds were rolling in and the win picked up quite a bit. Damn hurricane. We just knew Schlitterbahn would be rained out. But it wasn't. We had a great time there. Got rained on a couple times, but it was no big deal. My damn water shoes gave me 4 blisters on my left foot and 2 on the other. So I had to carry them towards the end. Not a fan of stepping on gooey substances. Yuck.

We got home yesterday around 3pm. Punky cleaned the whole house while I unpacked. I got the better end of the deal. After that we crashed. Driving takes it out of ya! She's still sleeping as I type. We're wienies :)

Had a great time - glad to be home. Not looking forward to getting back to work Monday after talking to my boss on the way home. There's a shit storm a brewin and I want to be as far away from that as I can. More on that later.
