Sunday found us at morning Church, followed by a chilled afternoon before visiting with Travis (Tona and Chucks son) and Ashleigh and kids for a Mexican dinner!! Completed with TV time watching the Houston Rockets (the NBA team our own Stephen Adam’s plays for) destroying the Golden State Warriors (our beloved? Steph Curry’s team!) Good end to the day….
This Morning, Tona had planned a trip north west to Brenham to view the fields of Bluebonnets, a wild flower that blooms in this region only for a couple of weeks in April!
First stop, Tony’s cafe and parking next to this gorgeous little Ford!!
Easter bunny to welcome GiGi (Tonas mum) at the door….followed by bottomless coffee and…
Pecan Waffles! A breakfast for kings!!! Really only needed half of this but managed to clear the plate!
Then with a kiwi navigator (yours truly) a couple of extra side trips were made in the hunt of the (somewhat elusive) bluebonnets…
We continued up to Washington on the Brazos national park, where in 1836 the Texans signed their independence as a state!
In this replica of the hall …
More bluebonnets and wildflowers ….
A stroll around what was the original town (no buildings left standing) that became the capital of Texas in 1842-1845
After a very warm start to my sojourn here the temperatures dropped on Sunday to late teens (Celsius) during the day and single digits (winter jammies) overnight..,
We arrived back in Lake Jackson around 5pm only to be alerted, on Tonas phone, that the power was off at home, so we met Chuck from work and dined at a cafe in town….returning to a very quiet and dark (by 7pm) evening until the power burst back into action just before 9pm..
Tomorrow we return to summer temperatures and more adventures!
