was actually thinking about going to the capital and visiting it.... my wife works for the state and she was surprised that i could carry inside her building, but due to policy they could not.

The Capitol campus is a nice place to walk and touring the building is an interesting way to spend a few hours. Even my kids enjoyed it.

wife sent me a text today... will be staying at the South Wyndham on I-35... so will be visiting Reds South Range at least one day... cant decide right now.... been checking out the capital info, it is definitely in my plans to visit

That kind of irony drives me up a wall sometimes. Why would they continue to retain that policy? Of course, that's a rhetorical question.

getting ready leave Austin after a few days of visiting... had a nice visit at the capital building.... had a little bit of trouble geting my CHL out, but i think it was more due to the cute DPS officer.... had a good time at Reds Gun Range South.... nice place.... got there not to long after thier 9:00 opening time and by ten was hopping.... had a terrific meal at the Shady Grove Stop-A-While... all in all a very nice visit while my wife was stuck in her training

looks like the next training session for her will be in Houston in two weeks.... will probably go with her for that session


Thanks Austin for a good visit
