Upcoming Blog Birthday and Makeover...Hopefully

This month marks my 8th year of blogging. I'm thinking of doing a blog makeover. Of course, I have to wait for the NCAA Tourney to end. 

Smagrone Crazy Train - Northbound

Big score of the day - seats with the tables on the trip home.

3rd Annual Smagrone Spring Break Crazy Train SXSW Zilker Escapade

On the Metro Rail. Lagrones and Smiths went 2 by 2. (plus Mia)

Here's the plan:
Metro Rail to Austin Convention Center walk to Zilker Park via Ladybird Lake Trail
ride Zilker Zephyr (didn't at Trail of Lights)
eat lunch somewhere
Cap Metro bus to Austin Convention Center
Metro Rail back to Lakeline

This inadvertent tradition inexpensively gets us out of our daily bubble. Good times.

Chuy's Parade 9:45 - potty lines

Drink line and potty line at Starbucks crazy long. Wonder if they staffed accordingly. Capitol potty is not that fa away. Girls, don't be afraid to use the boys' bathroom. Bathroom issue major consideration for early parade arrival. Thankfully Kelsie has Mia in potty line while I wait in serving line.

Food & beverage we're enjoying: sweetened passion tea, cake pop (oops don't have any) make that a snowman cookie, non-fat no whip mocha stirred.

It's now 9:50.

Chuy's Parade 9:32 am

Mia is kicked back waiting for the parade to start at 11. (wonder how long she'll stay that way?)

Made it to Congress before it closed and managed to score a parking spot near a Starbucks - crucial to refreshment and potty needs, especially potty needs.

Weather is perfect temperature and cloud cover. Cloudy but not rainy. Little breezy but shouldn't affect balloons.

Only 3 of us this year. Emily and Alexa have play practice at church. Kara had sleep practice. Kelsie got up early to join Niblet & me.

Oops. Time to go potty.
