My day started off with a nice breakfast outing with my husband. At about 9:45, I got on IH35 for the 89 mile trip to Round Rock, Texas. It was 1:00 by the time I got through Austin! Apparently, I chose the day there was major construction going on and three lanes of traffic were forced off the highway by Slaughter Lane, which is in south of Austin. Then, it took another 50  minutes to get through Austin to Round Rock. Needless to say,  I needed something to cool me down once I arrived. Now, my furry buddies and I are resting in the Rumpus Room.
