Somehow I ended up with Bro #1 and #2 for dinner, as well as the four of us, Adopted Son, and Gen.

Steak, pork shank, chicken something or other, baked potatoes, salad (not pictured) and burgers (still on the BBQ at this point):

Ugh! Somebody shoot me!

Son #1 just came down the stairs and asked why the air was off.
Me - 'Cause it's 15 degrees out. (59 F)
S - Okay, I'm leaving. I warned you if you shut the air off I was going.

How about you open your window, shut your trap, and go to bed?! Better yet, go sleep on the back deck, under the pergola.

Anyway.. some photos of the restaurant's pond.

So bad the "urban" patch is already encroaching this restaurant.. which was full of trees and forested area. Now you can see the awful cheapo houses in one of the sides.

they had tons of turtles.

some type of ducks.. DSC_1133.jpg DSC_1135.jpg
Some type of Crows who were very smart (stealing food from the area they put the leftover food before putting it in the trash) DSC_1162.jpg DSC_1163.jpg
and a sneaky sneaky gator!

Then, it was off to Peter Pan Mini-Golf, another iconic Austin business since 1948... :)

DWifey had a lovely day!
Hope all you moms out ther did, as well...!!! :)

I must say, you and your family know how to celebrate!!! :joyfull: I was really impressed by the 1952 restaurant (and it looks like the original sign as well there), followed by the 1948 Peter Pan Mini-Golf! HA! The figure of Peter Pan and the other figures in the mini-golf are classic!!! There are so few of those golden oldies around the country (restaurants, mini-golf, etc. from that era), but when you find them, it's priceless. Happy to see that they are still thriving in your area, and I love how they probably haven't changed much of anything, since they opened way back when. Great photos, too! :happy: DWifey looked like she enjoyed the festivities in her honor!

P.S.: Back to that restaurant for a moment--the wooden doors with the sun carved into them were beautiful.

definitely envious, I only have like 10 mugs (collectible ones)
Most of them are of Musicals (like phantom of the opera, CATS, Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat) and 2 of Disney.
I fear buying Mugs and having them in my bags in an International trip might just.. destroy them.

I think if you wrap clothing around the mug (or mugs), they will be fine in your suitcase. The clothing would provide enough of a safe cushion to protect them.

happy mother's day!

Good thing I went way earlier than my mother wanted (since that restaurant said they had no reservation system).
because by the time my family seated.. the place was PACKED to the seams!

You are a very thoughtful son, and I'm sure your mother appreciated and enjoyed her day with you. By the way, what did you both have to eat? I like hearing about the different kinds of food you have in Mexico. :)

Well, we didnt eat anything "Mexican" per se. ( as in traditional)
This restaurant was mostly seafood.

We were kinda busy eating and talking, so I only managed to take a photo of my entree.
An Empanada filled with Shrimp.
It was good :9

I then had a creamy shrimp with spinach, bacon bits, onion and nuts.
my mother had spicy shrimp with garlic.
