Austin

We went to Austin for a short family vacation this week! It was the first time we got to really explore this great city! Luke was a fantastic traveler! As you can see, we even let him take the wheel for part of the drive! We got to see the Capitol Building, walked down Congress Ave to see all the shops, walked along the river, had a picnic at Zilker Park (we wanted to go swimming but of course Barton Springs was closed for cleaning the day we went!), spent an afternoon of shopping at the great outlets (pottery barn and crate and barrel outlets...I was in heaven!), and even found a fun roadside stand selling cupcakes! We had some delicious food, and world famous drinks - the Bee sting at Fino, and the Mexican Martini at Trudy's. They actually give you a shaker full of the "martini" (aka margarita), and there is a limit to how many they will serve you (2) to help enforce more responsible imbibing. Over all it was a great trip, we look forward to returning soon to continue our exploration...
