Our Austin Texas Trip

Jerry, Toby and I visited Austin, Texas, in late July 2003 to see the Capitol of Texas and other sites in the area.

We took the Duck Adventure which drove us around Austin and then into Lake Austin to cruise around the lake and then back out the boat ramp and downtown Austin. That evening Toby and I went to watch the bats come out for the evening, what a sight it was! Click here for the Duck Adventure tour.

The next day on our way home we hopped a train just north of Austin that went through the Hill Country and back. Click here for the train ride pictures.
