Kirch Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Wish I could go to SETHSA, but the travel & hotel expenses are probably out of our financial reach right now. I'm a bit west of Fort Worth, waving south! :seeya: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Austin is our nearest 'big city'-- so I'm there a few times each month. My closest town is Wimberley--- lots of cool shops on our village square! I'm still homeschooling for a few more months-- middle dd is headed to A&M Corpus!!! I will still be teaching homeschoolers next year though--so that should count for something, right? Sign me up for some adult time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd used to live and work in the Round Rock/Cedar Park area. She got married on Lake Travis and then they moved to GA. Our entire family/extended family has pretty deep roots in TX. My family is from TX as is my SIL's family. My brothers and extended family still live in TX as does a great deal of my hubby's family.

Ellie Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I am sooooo lost... LOL Apparently. :lol: Do we need to have a geography lesson, Missy?? To get to Bastrop: Go south on I-35 (that's toward San Antonio, in case you weren't sure. :lol:) Go east on 183, as if you're going to the airport. That's the direction you'd go to Bastrop. To get to Wimberly: Go south on I-35. Take 290 West (sadly, also known as 71 and Ben White :banghead: ) toward Johnson City. That's the direction you'd go to Wimberly (obviously I'm leaving out lots of turns and whatnots. I'm just trying to give you some directionality, lol).

Yet, I saw posts after mine show up :glare: I also noticed it wasn't very active, which I found pretty surprising considering the amount of TX WTM'ers we have here.

NatashainDFW Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I am considering driving from Ft Worth to Houston to see SWB at SETHSA. Luckily my inlaws live about an hour away in Huntsville so I have childcare already just trying to determine if we want to stay at the hotel or try to battle the Houston traffic each morning and evening. Is there anyone else from up here driving down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 AusinWTM isn't a very active email loop. They do have weekly parkdays on Mondays, but I only made it to one. They met too far south for me. I've enjoyed the Learning without Limits parkdays on Fridays. I've been in that group since we moved here over 7 years ago. I don't know if we're having a parkday this Friday since it's spring break and all the schools are out. We're taking this week off as well. All classes/lessons the kids have this week are canceled (including my oldest dd's ACC classes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missesd Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi, Angie!! I am on LWOL with you. Unfortunately, a lot of those park days are way far away from me too. I am out near Taylor. But we have been down to one car since January, and even if we had some near me, I couldn't make it. And with gas prices going up, and up, and... the ones out in Cedar Park, etc... are going to be next to impossible for me to get to even when I do get my car back this summer :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna in Texas Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm in west Houston (just on the other side of the beltway). The convention weekend is the weekend after dd's 13th birthday (!!!!), and we usually spend that weekend in Round Rock with family and friends, but we were going to postpone the trip a week to coincide with our wedding anniversary. I've never been to a convention, though. Aren't they usually held at Reliant? Or is that a different one? This one is closer to where I live.

We met in our neighborhood rec-center. I think a few from that original group still meet, but we had to stop because of time constraints.
