We recently had four very special visitors stay with us for 10 days! Jeremy, Sara, and Eric are three of Stefan's closest friends from college. They all came down on the same flight and Jessi, Stefan's sister, came down at the same time on a separate flight. While they were here we spent a lot of time laying by the pool. We didn't spend any time in the pool as it is unheated and really chilly!
We had so much fun playing games, laying out, celebrating St. Patty's Day, and cheering on our Badgers! Stefan had one full day off while they were here, so we headed to Corpus Christy for one night and spent the entire next day on the beach. Some of us neglected to re-apply sun lotion and got pretty burned. I supplied them later with lots of aloe and lotion, so I hope they didn't peel too badly! Stefan and I were wanting to visit Corpus Christy and so it worked out perfectly for us, too.
We were also wanting to go to Austin and took a day trip with them while they were here, too! Jessi opted to stay back from the Austin trip so that she could make some sewing progress for her fashion show pieces. We had a great time and enjoyed a fabulous seafood dinner. We went to a place called Boiling Pot where they boil a bunch of different types of seafood along with corn and potatoes and then they dump it all out on the table. Later we went to see the bats fly from under the bridge for their sunset feeding, and then headed to a beergarden. We were able to grab a table and enjoy three or four different bands that were playing as part of the South by Southwest music festival going on.
Everyone left the next day and we were bummed to see our Badgers lose to Xavier in the tournament, and also to see everyone go. It was a wonderful visit that flew by! We have tons of pictures that we still need to post, so look for those soon!
