A weekend with family

If you have been following us on facebook or twitter, you probably knew why we been MIA on the blog for a while. Our PCs got infected by stupid viruses a week ago and refused to work. We’ve been salvaging whatever we can and had to reinstall everything. Good thing we have a Mac too, we could still answer emails do some work. I am just glad I am so anal about backing up everything. I can’t imagine what we are going to do if we ever lose anybody’s pictures. Makes me shiver just thinking about it…

As if we were not busy enough already, we have family visiting from Taiwan at the sametime!! Being gracious hosts, of course we have to drop almost everything and make sure our guests are entertained :) We had a wedding on Saturday…and no…we can’t drop that. On Sunday, we took them on a little road trip to do a tour of Austin.

Saw a big field of bluebonnets on 290, we had to stop for pictures!

We visited the Capitol too. As many times as I have been there, I have never seen it from this angle. It’s pretty cool!

We also rented a pontoon and took everybody for a ride on Lake Austin. You can call me Captain Eric.
