We headed to Austin mid-morning yesterday, and since we couldn't check into the hotel until 3:00, we went first to Laguna Gloria. Just take 35th Street all the way west until you run into Lake Austin, and you will discover a lovely old home that was built by one of Austin's founding families. It now belongs to the Austin Museum of Art, and is home base for The Art School (www.amoa.org/artschool).
I was there primarily to pick up a class catalog, but the grounds were so enticing, we couldn't resist wandering around. We peeked through the doors of several classrooms as well, and indulged in daydreams about spending lots of time here together, once John is retired.
To be continued...

Sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary!
The Root Cellar, hmmmm, sounds marvy!
And Laguan Gloria, haven't been out since they finished their makeover, need to get out there.
Ciao,

This was our first time back to LG since we were at UT in the early 70's. I'm thinking about taking their Vacation Sketching class, since I've just been drooling over the wonderful book "The Art of Travel with a Sketchbook, by Mari le Glatin Keis.
