a trip to the outlets

Here is Megan, Kim, Marci, and Gwen.
I was lucky enough to hitch a ride with Kim to see a little bit more of Texas. On Thursday she was heading down to San Marcos to meet with her sister-in-law Marci, who is here for a few days. So I was able to go along and see some great things. First of all we went to the outlet mall there which if I am not mistaken was rated in the top five for best places to shop in the country. So that was cool, and then for lunch we went to a little town called Gruene, although here it is pronounced Green. We ate at a place called the Gristmill and it was really neat. Aparently it used to be a real Mill of some kind and it was converted to a rather large eatery that sits right above the river. Now this river is a huge summer activity here. You rent tubes and float down it over and over, I have not been on it, but in my mind I associate it with the lazy river that they have at water theme parks. Well we had a great trip and a lot of fun meeting with Kim and her family. But we just barely scratched the surface of the shopping. I think that you could be there for days and still not see all the stores. It is a shoppers dream come true.
