Part I - Driving to the City of San Marcos (sung to Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orleans...well, you get the idea, right?)

Yes, sometimes I get carried away trying to come up with clever titles for my blog entries. That's just me, OK?

After an early morning rise, we drove from Katy to San Marcos to join our fellow car enthusiasts for the after holiday party activities. Arriving at 0830, we found out the trip to the museum wasn't scheduled until 1130. Sooooo, we went to the two outlet centers (Prime Outlets and Tanger) adjacent to our host hotel, The Embassy Suites and Convention Center. Picked up some more of the 'No Iron' shirts at Brooks Brothers which are a bargain when at half price. That was all the shopping we did as we definitely do not need any more 'stuff'.



The car museum was a mere 5 minutes from the hotel. Dick Burdick, a fellow RROC member, has collected about 60 American cars from the 30s to the 60s and displayed them in a pristine setting. The museum has only been open a few months. They sure could make gorgeous cars in the early part of the century. Here's a small sample of the ones we saw and drooled over.

After the museum tour, we drove down the road a piece to another member's tavern for a yummy outdoor fajita spread.
