Re: San Antonio TX Anyone??
 
Hi there, welcome to BE from DFW.
Was just doing the mommy thing at the park and a friend is off to San Antonio this weekend. We've hardly been out of DFW since moving here last June.
Managed to get three weeks back in the UK in January so that's settled my home sickness for the time being.
Hopefully we'll get some travelling in and see a bit more of the Lone Star State, visit San Antonio go to Deep Sea World and what not. I'm very interested in a road trip to Austin it looks beautiful!
I've been lucky and met lots of people through my son, he's four. We got him into soccer and I joined a MOPS group so it's been great. Thanks goodness for MSN though so as I can talk to my mum whenever I like. ;)

Yeah I heard austin was a nice place to visit, and actually Bob, it seems from the map that's where the cool kids live!

Love MSN, get to see the fam back home also we got Vonage when we moved here, it's super cheap, we pay $30 a month and it's unlimited to the UK (land lines only) & US. Can talk for hours and not worry a bit!

I was trying to explain to a friend of mine the other day what a hotcross bun was. She just didn't get it. Man what I would do for a hotcross bun with butter washed down with a nice cuppa. The cuppa I can do thanks to my smuggled supply of tea bags! ;)

I always liked mine toasted with oodles of melted butter!
And of course you have to sing the song while you're eating them!

Think I'm getting mixed up with the song about currant buns in the bakers shop, round and fat with a cherry on top!
My four year olds fault he's always singing that!

Yup, there's several of us cool kids up here in Austin. Steer clear the next couple of weeks though ... it's SXSW and you won't be able to park!
