Our vacation is over and we had a good time in Texas. The drive was especially fun! I lost count of how many times complete strangers asked to see inside the MINI. We're getting used to it.

Austin was cool, but smaller than I expected. Texas BBQ, while tasty, doesn't hold a candle to KC BBQ. One of the coolest adventures was to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Food and adult beverages are served while viewing your choice of six films, new and classic. We saw Seabiscuit there on a rainy Sunday afternoon. If you're ever in Austin or Houston, I highly recommend a trip to the Drafthouse.

The final pictures of our Texas trip are now online. Click here to take a look. Next week it's back to regular programming of all MINI news, fun and adventure. :-(>
