Today we decided to go downtown Austin. First we visited the Austin Children's Discovery Museum (which was free due to our family membership to the Exploratorium) I love Children's museums because it's the one museum I don't have to keep saying, "don't touch that! Quiet! No running! Keep away from the exhibits." At this museum the kids are encouraged to touch and play with everything! The kids loved it! The funny thing was I think Dave had more fun then the boys. Every time I turned the corner he was at another exhibit building, solving and playing. After the museum we went to the University of Texas and bought Sterling a football (he is co
llecting them). We then decided we had to find a cheap place to get diesel. Everywhere we had driven by was between $4.25 to $4.49 a gallo
n. So I looked on gasbuddy.com and found a place 
for $3.99! We thought it must be a mistake (we had found other mis-prices in the past), so we called and to our surprise they confirmed the price. Well, when we arrived 
we realized that our RV was too tall to fit. We don't give up that easily! I guided Dave forward and the workers weren't too happy with us, but we were determined to save money on gas (see pic). After gas we headed to Dallas! Everyone may be surprised, bu
t I drove the Big Rig from Austin to Dallas. I was pretty freaked out at first going through town, but relaxed a little on the freeway (until the construction wall was directly on my right and a huge truck was pressing on my left...AUGH!). You probably don't think I have any experience drivin
g a big rig but I have actually driven one of our big moving trucks before and had a very good experience doing so :). Even with my little experience driving
the big RV it is definitely intimidating. Well, we made it to Dallas alive and we are staying in Treetops RV Village in Arlington.
