OK, where was I? We went back to my sister's house after Freaky Friday. Jamie and Lauren hung out by the pool, while Luke and I threw the frisbee around the front yard. My parents came over for the family dinner to celebrate Lauren's birthday. After dinner, Luke wandered across to a friend's yard to play. He was climbing over a wooden fence, when all of a sudden, the top portion of the plank that he was leaning on snapped, and he fell through the fence to the ground below. He was in a lot of pain, so after Grace doped him up, Steve took him up to the emergency room. I went up to bring them some snacks about an hour later. Luke was in much better spirits. Turns out he broke his collarbone. He has to wear what looks like a backpack without the pack. It actually doesn't look that uncomfortable.
The next day, we got up early to say goodbye to Lauren, who had to go to school unlike her injured brother. About lunchtime, we headed down to Austin to connect with Mark. We had lunch at this gigantic Schlotzcky's that had a really weird menu. It was good, though. Then, we dropped Jamie off at the Arboretum, and Mark and I went to Fry's. That night, Mark, Becky, B-dub, Ben and I all met up at P.F. Chang's downtown for dinner and drinks. It was all quite tasty. I tried to talk all of them into moving out to southern California.
After dinner, we went to the Wilson's house to spend the night. We stayed up for a while talking to B-dub and Jan, trying to talk them into moving out here. We got to see pictures and video from the wedding. The next morning, B-dub, Mark and I met for breakfast at Magnolia's to 'talk business'. They had breakfast food; I had a root beer float. Am I leaving anything out?
Jamie and I got on the plane around noon after eating Saltlick at the airport. While Jamie did spot a suspicious person, he didn't try to blow up our plane. Whew. We got back just in time to drive from the airport to Jamie's work. That's right, she had to work the day she got back. Poor girl. I came home and did laundry and got the place liveable again. Thus, endeth our vacationeth.
