Our son, Ian, brought his girlfriend, Clio, home for Thanksgiving. She is a native New Yorker doing her PhD in Astrophysics at Berkeley, so mainly a coastal person. We decided to bring them to the middle and have a taste of Texas, especially as it's not summer, so therefore not 100 degrees outside.
First they flew to Dallas to spend some time with Andrea and Tina. Art galleries, restaurants, and a sculpture garden.
I don't know what's happening here but apparently they're off to Oz.
Next a rental car to drive to Lubbock. And a photo op with this sculpture somewhere near Throckmorton.
Upon arrival in Lubbock Clio decided to try a Cosmo. I make a good Cosmo.
She brought a card game for us to play, Mystic Vale. Took me a couple of tries to figure the rules, but it's visually a very pretty game. I certainly liked my Moon Wolf card (Moon Moon!)
Ian and Clio take a walk around Tech Terrace Park
We ate in. We ate out. Jalisco's, One Guy From Italy, Hayashi, La Sirena. And Ian had to treat Clio to chicken fried steak at the Cast Iron Grill.
Breakfast at George's with Ian's Nana.
And we all enjoyed a room escape adventure. This time we were breaking out of a science lab with secret documents. (Glenn, Val, Naomi, Chel'C, Isaac, Ian, Clio)
Glenn arranged for Clio to ride a horse on the ranch of a friend, LaGina Ledbetter, who lives outside Levelland. Clio had had some horseback training when younger so she wasn't a complete newbie.
Putting Chance through his paces.
Riding Poco
A day trip to Paladuro Canyon, two hours north. It was a great day for hiking
As we left the park this fine lady wished us happy trails.
