Shawn’s New Car - Lamborghini Gallardo

I’ve always wanted a Lamborghini.  In fact, I had a poster of a Lamborghini up in my bedroom throughout junior high and high school.  I remember doing the math on what it would take to pay for the loan, gas and insurance.  In March, I got one.

It is a Gallardo with just over 20,000.  It’s in terrific shape.  Blue - of course.

Lukenbach Texas Stop

Misty and I stopped in Luckenbach, Texas, on our way home from Fredericksburg.  It is a tiny little “town” of about 10 acres with 3 buildings.   It was like going back in time.  I even purchased my first cowboy hat.

Trip to Fredericksburg, TX

The family took at trip to Fredericksburg, Texas, between Christmas and New Years.   I wanted to be away during Shawn Jr’s birthday on December 30.   We stayed in a great little Airbnb house close to Main Street.  We did a little shopping, ate German food and just hung out playing family games together.   It was a great time.

Misty’s New Car - Audi Q7

Misty got a new car this week.  We traded in my Audi S5 (which I thought I would keep forever) and got her a 2017 Audi Q7.  It has under 20,000 miles.  Misty’s 2016 Q5 was getting up there in miles (it already has 110,000 miles) and we wanted to get her something with lower mileage.  Too many trips to Frisco.  😂

Below is a picture of my S5.  It will be missed.
