An amazing lunch topped off with a toasted bread with chocolate inside. It was a favorite for the girls. The weiner schnitzel was amazing and the burger was first class. If you ever make it to Lampasas, this is a must visit.

We slept in today and didn’t roll out of bed until nearly 9 o’clock. Our hotel stay included breakfast, so we ambled down to the buffet. The staff whipped up a fresh batch of waffle batter for us and the girls waited patiently and munched on some blueberry muffins and honey buns. When the waffle batter was ready, we fired up the heat and in minutes we had a huge stack of waffles. The girls devoured them while Mommy & Daddy took time to chew and enjoy each bite – a rare event and the sign of a real vacation. 🙂

We asked for a late checkout and now we are headed back to the pool. We’ll swim for an hour or so, then check out, grab one last meal in town, then head to _________.

What better way to wind down the day than a friendly game of iPhone UNO. Three iPhones and hotel wifi means an aggressive match-up. Katie & Mommy both one once, but Daddy squeaked ahead in the end with two wins.

Riley & Jackie do a great job of entertaining each other before bed.

After swimming, Mommy gave the girls a bath and Daddy took care of snacks. We ate popcorn, goldfish, cheese & crackers, and some leftovers from dinner. I guess swimming makes the girls a bit hungry.

We snuggled up on the couch and watched The Incredibles on the iPad. Now we are firing up the iPhones to play a group game of UNO with Daddy, Mommy, and Katie. We could play with the regular UNO cards we brought, but what kind of geek family are we?

We hit the discount section of Walgreens before we left and stocked up on pool toys. That means Daddy spent a lot of time huffing & puffing.

After dinner, we checked into our hotel, enjoyed the A/C a bit, and watched the end of Toy Story. Then we headed for the pool. The hotel pool was the perfect size. Katie was swimming like a fish. Jackie and Riley had a lot of one-on-one time to practice their swimming. Jackie said her favorite part was swimming by herself in the deep end. Before we left, the girls made a new friend and I’m sure they will meet up tomorrow at breakfast and at the pool.
