My family often plans vacations around food. Yesterday, was no exception. For lunch, we took a picnic up to the top of Mount Bonnell. The view was spectacular:

On one side you could see the Pennybacker Bridge (AKA 360 Bridge).

There were huge houses on both banks. Almost each one had it's own dock, some with a mini harbor. We also saw some people tubing off the back of a boat.

Here is a picture of my parents, resting in the heat.
Threadgill's for dinner - where Janis Joplin cut her teeth. They serve up some seriously excellent southern food - where even a meat-eater would get the veggie entrees. Their list of southern-style vegetables is 28 deep! We all dove right in and left happy. That was my second good experience at the restaurant, the first being at the So. location.
