Day 5 - Friday, May 30th, 2003 - We were not going to be able to use the jet skis this day. This is when the weekend crowd starts showing up and the marina was going to need them. We hooked back up with Wendel and Ann and went to mom and dad's lake house. Mom's childhood friend Sue Ann and her husband had made it down with some clothes and such. It was nice to see everyone. Plans were made for Phil and Wendel to take the girls down somewhere near Fredricksburg to a game ranch for a tour. Basically something to do other than sit around all day. I had no interest in going. Audrey and I went back to the hotel for a long afternoon nap and some TV. Later that afternoon it was agreed that we would meet Phil and that bunch at a steak house in Marble Falls. Audrey and I cleaned up and went over there. We arrived first. Unbeknownst to us, this is perhaps the most upscale restaurant around. It was well out of our price range so we sipped on a beer at the bar and waited for the others. Once they showed up, plans were made to move on to somewhere else. I guess at that time, Wendel and Ann decided it was time to go back to Dallas anyway, which they did. We headed back to Chili's. What a surprise. I don't know how, but that Chili's really provided a nice place to be at the end of the day. The food was always real good, the view was nice and so were the people. No wonder we kept going.
