"World Famous" Specht's!

Our friends Ashley and Chris were here for a couple of days this weekend for a visit. Ashley is one of Robert's oldest friends, and she and Chris live in New York. We don't get to see them very often, so we were glad that they were able to come stay with us for a couple of days. Robert was able to take Friday off and take them to some of the missions, the Riverwalk, and the Japanese Sunken Garden (while I was in a training class for audits of 401k plans - jealous?).

On Friday night, we decided to eat at a place that promised to have a real Hill Country feel - Specht's Country Store. We'd heard about it from some friends and thought this was a good opportunity to check it out. The building is really small, but they have a covered patio with live music on Friday and Saturday nights. It was really laid back, and we all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere - Claire really liked the live music. We also found out when we got there that they are "World Famous"!

Saturday we all drove to Austin and had lunch on the pier at Hula Hut before heading over to visit some of the shops on South Congress. Ashley's family met up with us and we handed our friends over to their family for an event that evening. We had a really nice time and hope we're all able to get together again soon!
