I’m taking a break from Maui for this week. Don’t worry, we’ll return to it shortly.

What’s the reason for this interruption?
The bluebonnets will soon be covering the pastures and roadsides of Texas with their carpet of blue. If you’d like to see those blue carpets, plan your trip now.

Travel Tips
Here are a few special places to put on your list:

• Burnet, Texas (Pronounced, burn it, as in Dad, burn it!)

The Annual Bluebonnet Festival is held the second weekend of April.
April 13–15, 2018
http://bluebonnetfestival.org

• Marble Falls, Texas near Lake LBJ
Bluebonnet Café
This Marble Falls institution serves pure comfort food and PIE.

211 US Hwy 281, Marble Falls (830) 693-2344
Hours: M-Th 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.;
F-Sat 6:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.; Sun 6:00 a.m. – 1:45 p.m.
http://www.bluebonnetcafe.net

We waited forty-five minutes in the line, which stretched outside the entrance.
You may not have to wait that long outside, but when you do make it inside you’ll still be in a line. It’s not the end, but you can see it from there.

Don’t worry, once you reach the end of the inside hallway (next to the kitchen prep area) you should be seated soon. The food is worth the wait, but you can skip the line and carryout instead.
