Trip to Shiner

Thursday I left for a couple of days to visit my mom and stepdad in Shiner.  I actually made pretty good time driving.  Usually it takes a full three hours and a lot of times a little longer thanks to Houston traffic or I-10 traffic.  I made it in 2 hours and 45 minutes!!  Woohoo!  I know saving 15 minutes doesn't sound like much, but I-10 can get rather boring after a while.

My mom cooked dinner Thursday evening, and we just hung out and talked.  Friday my mom took off of work so we could spend more time together.  We were going to do some shopping in Victoria but decided to hang out around the house instead; we just watched TV and talked some more.  Friday evening we went to the Shiner softball game which we won, 9-5.  I never played softball... ever, not even little league.  So, I don't know all of the rules or details of the game, but it was still enjoyable to watch.  After the game, we ate at Friday's Fried Chicken.  Oh how I love that place!!  Super expensive for a little fast food joint but so delicious!  Growing up, I never thought Friday's was all that great, but since I don't have any of that good German/Czech food where I live, it's a nice treat to eat there when I am in Shiner.

Saturday, we headed to Moulton to hang out with Kevin and Blair while they played in a washer tournament benefitting a local Relay for Life team.  The people hosting the tournament also had a silent auction, and they had a football with Johnny Manziel's autograph!!  I really wanted to bid on it, but I knew I wouldn't win it.  Kevin told me that it ended up going for $1500.  Um yeah, I definitely couldn't have bought that.  There were lots of other cool auction items too, but the football was probably the best.  Overall, we had a great time and even got a little sun!!

It was really windy, if you noticed our crazy hair!

 

 

Their shirts said "Cancer...?"
And then the back said "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

 

Blair's face is priceless!!

Such a cute couple!
