Last night, our friends the Johnsons and Ardilas volunteered to watch our kiddos for a bit so that Kathy and I could have a mini-date. We haven’t been able to pull off many dates since the move stuff began, so we gratefully (and quickly) accepted. We spend about an hour wandering around the square in San Marcos. There are a ton of bars and coffee shops, many of which have stages for live music, promising good prospects for finding places to listen and to play. There aren’t many family-friendly places on the square proper, but we found Grin’s restaurant nearby which looks like a good place to haul the kids to sometime. They’ve got good iced tea in big glasses, and thus get my thumbs-up.
