What a fortnight!

So the parents left today, after two hectic, fun filled weeks. Here is a little bit of what we did.

We roamed SoCo & ate at Homeslice!

We watched the Counting Crows play at Auditorium shores, they were in town for SXSW.

We went to the Austin Rodeo. It was like nothing I have ever seen before!

We took in the beauty of Downtown Austin!

We enjoyed some Texas BBQ and frozen sangria at The Salt Lick...

We went to Mt Bonnell, If you live in Austin and haven't been you need to, I can't believe it took us 2 years.

We went Kayaking on Lady Bird Lake..My new favourite thing to do. My mum also got pooped on by birds! FUNNIEST thing I have seen in a long time.

We had our first experience with food trailers in Austin boy was it good.  If you are local you have to try Ms P's electric cock (SoCo) & Gourdoughs (South First).  Best friend chicken I've ever had, hands down.

Climbed Enchanted Rock.

We visited Fredericksburg, ate some German food, drank some German beer and ofcourse we went shopping.

Overall it was a fantastic two weeks, and I loved being a tourist in my own city, people should do it more often.

Sunday lovely Sunday



Turtles at the lake



We spent our Sunday downtown, we walked down by town lake, then went and had some delicious smoothies and went and spent some time at my favourite two stores REI and Anthropologie.

What a fabulous Sunday!

"A" is for Austin

So yesterday we started our first letter in our alphabet adventure challenge. We decided to start with something free and easy, which was Austin. We haven't explored too much of downtown yet so we thought it would be a good idea (especially since we have decided to move next summer and won't be in Texas as long as we originally thought).
  So we started off by heading to the capitol building to explore, it was pretty cool to go inside and look and the building was beautiful.

 After lunch we decided to hang out by the lake and find some shade. It wasn't the best day to be walking around in the sun (100f/38c) Now thats hot!

I took in the beauty of the Frost Bank building like I do everytime I see it.

We then headed to SoCo which is my favourite part of downtown Austin, It's just so diverse. We decided to go find some cowboy boots. There are some amazing pairs, It was like art... but on cowboy boots.

This pair where a crazy $2400

We then went to get some dinner at Home Slice Pizza which was AHHHHmazing! and I lost my canoli virginity... my life will never be the same!

I was tempted to get a cupcake for dessert but I was STUFFED! Next time maybe.

and that was 'A'... I can't wait for 'B'.

*oh and if you didn't notice I chopped all of my hair off, It was getting in my way*
