Because all of us hate driving and finding affordable parking downtown, we opted to take the Rail. The kids always get a kick out of it and I enjoy taking advantage of a stress free ride where I don't have to pay attention to the road.
Our first stop was the famous Driskill Hotel. Although we've been there many times and never seen it, we still hunt that elusive ghost every time we go in there...
While Summer and I were outside on the balcony finishing our snack the others got to hear the story of the little girl ghost that still resides in the hotel. We walked up to the floor where her picture is....
Next, we moved on to The Capitol.....
I guess the highlight our our day was the Naked Bike Guy. Naked Bike Guy is an Austin fixture. The very first time we ever saw him we were hiking at Shoal Creek and there he rides right through the park naked as a jaybird. Summer was about 7 years years old and she said..."That man doesn't have any clothes on!". Actually, he's not really naked but he usually wears a flesh colored thong that makes him look very naked.
As usual it was a sight to see. Angela said, at least he's wearing a hat! This time he was wearing a black thong which made you have to really take a second look from a distance....
We had a good time, but Summer and I headed back to the Rail earlier than the others. We've had a busy few weeks and I think both of us just wanted to be in the comforts of home.
