Lily's first popsicle

Visit from Auntie Fran, pt. 1

We met Francine in Austin and went to the Salt Lick for dinner. It's a fairly famous barbecue place in Driftwood, TX and is pretty cool. You drive for about 30 minutes, seemingly going nowhere, until you come over the horizon and see a parking lot that seems way too big. The website states that it seats 2000 people, which seems ridiculous, until you see that parking lot. They actually have a leather-faced police officer directing traffic. Anyway, this was the patio where we waited for a table, listening to some guy play cover songs that all sounded the same, and drinking some really good fresh-squeezed lemonade. Lily ate stuff off the ground.

Back in Dallas, we took the trolley downtown to the DMA. There we enjoyed some art, but Lily punched Fran in the face after a disputed interpretation of this piece. Francine thought the use of gold and space was an interesting critique of capitalism, but Lily thought that it was cheese.
