We took the metro rail last week for the first time this year to the Austin Community College Highland Campus to visit Brian, Amelia's dad. He is a master controller operations specialist, or TV producer, and Amelia requested for us to go visit him. It was a great opportunity to see how producers operate the audio and visuals from a control room. So many buttons! It was also fun to see ourselves on TV screens and hear our voices on loud speakers. We ended our trip with a picnic at the historic Plaza Saltillo and made fairy houses out of natural elements.
