Johnson City, April 11

We took advantage of more nice spring weather last weekend to drive up to Johnson City, TX, to visit the LBJ Boyhood Home. We finally learned more about how he got from the Texas Hill Country to Washington, DC. Really interesting, at least for the grownups.

And we also headed over to Pedernales Falls State Park to a little outdoor "hiking" -- OK, walking and scrambling on rocks. With the drought we've had down here, there wasn't much in the way of falls. But they're careful to warn about flash floods. Look at this cool photo contrast from a recent thunderstorm. Last weekend we didn't have to worry about that, and had a good time.
