My second cousin

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:02 am

My second cousin, Bert Hutchings, visited us this weekend. He is over on a business trip in Houston. A coworker dropped him off at our house on Saturday afternoon. He wanted to see Austin so we went on a tour provided by SegCity. I’ve wanted to try this and we had a fantastic time on these neat devices. We first had a 30 minute training, then we were off for 2 1/2 hours tour. We glided all over Austin from 6th Street to Town Lake to the Capital to the UT campus and back.

The tour was like a 3 hour amusement ride. What fun. And for once in my life I was 6 feet tall. Today we drove to Houston and toured the Johnson Space Center. We rented audio self-tours, had a tram ride through the center, saw two movies and in general had a good time. Then we dropped Bert at his Houston hotel and drove home to Austin. Although we’re now exhausted we had a great time being host and hostess to him.

  2. Although the tour was expensive enough that I wouldn’t do it often ($65 for 3 hour tour) I highly recommend it as a special treat.
