Let me tell you we had a adventure. It started out at Yarntopia, the local yarn store. Where wool was to be found for felting.
Starbucks for strength.
About half way on our drive, Kris stopped at this great road side market. Just a bit past the beginning of Hwy 6 exit off the 290 toward College Station. It's on the left and so worth the stop. She was there for honey. I found green tomatoes but took a picture of the peppers because they were so pretty. There was great pottery as well.
Next stop was a quilt shop called Lone Star Quiltworks. Very nice ladies and great choices in fabric and wool.
After that a quick time filler at World Market then much needed dinner at Rudy's Barbecue.
Finally off to the purpose of your journey and that was to see James Gurney. I put a link below so you can check out his blog. Carolyn says he is a great blogger because he post most every day. Good lecture on his process and how his story came about. After Carolyn and Kris got their books signed. He draws a dinosaur with his autograph, how great is that. He signed my sketch book and even chatted with us a bit. Really gracious man.
My conclusion is even if you are not on a Gurney Journey, go out in the world with your friends and have your own journey.
