I am curious as well.
My wife, myself and daughter were planning on a vacation to the West coast the first week of June. Mostly to have our daughter see the ocean on the south side.
Now after the oil spill we are thinking coastal road trip from Florida to Texas. Been to the West coast a few times already. Time for something new.
Any recommendations? Wanna meet somewhere for a soda pop?

The weather people showed almost the entire state covered in rain earlier, and implied lots of flooding everywhere...though now it looks like it's pulled a bit further north, and over in to Oklahoma.
Hey...at least it ends the drought you guys were having in that state.
Looks like tomorrow is gonna be bad. Good. We don't have nearly enough mosquitoes.

Yeah, we got a ton of rain earlier today. Flash flood watches, but I didn't see anything bad. There's a tornado warning in our county right now and it might actually be a tornado. Which is weird, they're usually false alarms. More rain tonight. It's all good. Apparently, we're out of our drought altogether, but the lake levels are still real low. This is beneficial rain.
The only downside is all the fire ants that pop up after a good storm.

Has it been unusually cool in Austin? It's been a weird kind of cool around here. Like rain cooled air, but without the rain.

Friday felt like late November, early December. I'm not sure if we ever hit 70. This entire spring season has been cooler than usual. We haven't even been in the pool yet and the kids aren't asking to go. Now that's cold.

Some. we lost power for a while. I saw some news footage last night of the Blanco river flooding. That impressed me.
Outside of the cool weather we've been having, and the fact that we're actually getting rain and maybe not in a drought anymore, the storms last night were typical Texas weather. I think Oklahoma on up gets it way worse than we do.
Yeah we don't get the tornadoes and shit that Dallas and north of there gets. This time of year is rough up in tornado alley.
We supposedly had a real bad line of storms and tornado warnings pass through around 5-6 this morning, but I slept through that shit oblivious to the world. It's wet outside, but like you said, besides the weird coolness, this is regular ol Texas rain weather.

Apparently, the Blanco River flooded over I-35. That's about 30 minutes south of me. I never heard of an interstate shutting down due to flooding before, except maybe for a hurricane.

I love the gulf coast. Touring the entire gulf Coast line would be a blast IMO. The clear blue water of Fla., the military ships to tour in Alabama, the southern hospitality, awesome food, and casinos of Mississippi, the swamp tours of La., the awesome coastline of Tx.
With its unbelievable fishing.
There is something for everyone in the family on that road trip.

Well thanks for someone answering.
My trip is postponed until 6-15.
Would be cool to meet up with some of you fuckers while I am out there for a week or so.

Well, for a mountain boy and his family, a trip to a new place is going to be fun.
Trust me, I look at the mountains here and they bore me now. Anything on the ocean is new and interesting to me. I am sure my daughter will feel the same.
Her sandbox is quite a bit smaller than the real deal.

Fishing is something I would love to do while on this trip.
Not sure whether to go lake fishing or sea fishing. The fact that I have a 2 year old, I am thinking lake would be better. Any ideas? We will obviously be flying out without gear and driving a rental car.
