We decided to go to the shooting range today. If you're ever in the Austin area, Eagle Peak Shooting Range has the best prices around - $10 lifetime membership and you can target practice ALL DAY LONG for only $10. We purchased our own earplugs/safety glasses and practiced at the pistol and rifle/shotgun range. Pamela, myself, Alan, his brother (Uncle Mike) and Nathan spent about 3 hours at the range today. Don't bring your kids unless you plan to have them target practice as well. Only participants allowed on the range.
Afterwards, we decided to head into downtown Austin and eat at Austin's well-known burger joint--Fran's Hamburgers. Juicy, drip down your chin burgers and to-die-for onion rings...

Going North on Congress avenue...
The Uncommon Store had many treasures... I could have spent all day in there browsing through their antique books and dolls.
One of my favorite pastimes is viewing old photographs...
The cupcake stand off South Congress... We kept eyeing it but truthfully, we were in the mood for a Hawaiian shaved ice. It was hot and muggy today!
We spent the most time in the Big Top Candy Shop...
Chocolate covered bugs...
Old fashioned soda fountain. Alan shared his chocolate soda pop... Less guilt when split with three others...
A candy cigarette machine...
Eclectic candy...
Isn't that appetizing - Black Lung cigarette bubblegum (soothing lemon flavor)...
Dessert with breakfast?
The day went by really fast!
