We ended up with a little time and money on our hands this weekend, so we decided to take a little field trip. We went to Austin, TX and visited the Capitol building and the Texas State History Museum. We also managed to enjoy a nice lunch with my brother. :) Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures while we were hanging out with Eric, and photography wasn't allowed in the museum. Here are a few pictures, though, from the Capitol building. It was a really fun trip, and I think the kids learned a little so that's an added bonus. :)
