Bastrop, Texas- Population: Small Town Wonderful

So this last weekend Heath, my mom, Ally (our dog), and I packed into the 4Runner for a little adventure down to visit my brother. He lives in this cute little town called Bastrop which is about 45 minutes away from Austin. We had a blast. Friday night we headed out to the only big name sit down restaurant in town: Chili's. After getting stuffed we got tucked into his one bedroom apartment all cozy and went to bed sometime after 2. Saturday we got up and visited some houses closer to Austin that Heath and I have been looking at. We're thinking of maybe having Matt move in with us if he can fight off the 3 other people also wanting him to move in with them (he's very popular you see). Then we headed into Austin and watched a UT baseball game (with red faces to prove it), shopped at our favorite store (The Co-Op), and ate some yummy food at Trudy's (best mexican food around). After that we headed back to Matt's for some good ol' fun, Bastrop style. Matt took us to their entertainment center (which consists of their really crappy movie theaters (4 small ones), miniature golf, crappy bowling lanes, and a gameroom. We hit up the glow-in-the-dark mini-golf (which was actually fun) and saw the movie 'The Knowing' in Crappy Theater #3. The movie was pretty good...minus the very loud, small-minded teenagers sitting behind us. Other than that it was a great time. The next day we went and looked at some more houses, stopped by the Pecan store (Berdoll Frams-they have the best treats!), and then headed back to Matt's to pack up and leave. Oh Bastrop, Texas how we will miss your quaint charm and loveliness. Thanks Matt, for a great mini vacation!
