end of summer 2012 (best ever) and chris isaak at acl moody theater
and this brings summer break of 2012 to a close. it was probably our most active and drama/tragedy free summer ever, no complaints.
for our final act: we took the kids to schlitterbahn a few days before school started. the trick to schlitterbahn is to go early or mid week (monday-thursday) and bring a kick-ass picnic. make sure to get there BEFORE they open so you can get a great picnic table and be first in line for the rides.
and the eve of the first day of school, the wife and I saw chris isaak at the acl moody theater.
the band plays well together and they know how to entertain. not just music, but also a bit of comedy and synchronized goofy moves etc. it was good fun.
the lovely kat edmonson opened the show and came back out for a duet (crappy pics due to balcony seats)
great balls of fire! the old flaming piano trick!
and of course he closed the show with his mirrored suit.
back to school week of 2012:
the schools in the eanes district received many upgrades this summer. the kids couldn't wait to try out the new playgrounds. but they got ran off real quick, not officially open yet. stay off the fake grass!
picked up school supplies, met some teachers and that's it. today was the first full day. summer is done, the house is quiet and empty.
Trace (W hotel): we enjoyed a nice meal before the chris isaak show. the new moody theater is in the same building as the W hotel. trace was the obvious easy dinner choice.
loved the roasted beat salad
