Austin

OK, I usualy don't write about too much personal stuff, cause I figured who wants to read all that? But this weekend was super fun. We went to Austin. We left Sat. am & went to Zilker Park, which is huge and on the edge of downtown. We hiked a quarter way down this really long & secluded trail which went along a beautiful creek. Did I mention the weather was perfect? We sat in the middle on a rock & soaked our feet. I felt like I was in Montana or something. :) We had a picnic lunch in the middle of the park and even rode a train. lol. We ate crunchy catfish at a fun outside restaurant, and then took a sunset cruise to see 1.5 million bats come out of Congress Bridge. We followed up with a soak in the hot tub at our hotel. Sunday morning we spent browsing shops on South Congress (aka SoCo) and ate brunch & dessert at this really cool Italian restaurant. Then we saw the Capital and drove through some wealthy neighborhoods to look at all the cool houses. The architecture is incredible, and the land is really pretty. I was sad to leave, but as we drove back to College Station, I realized... the people are a lot cooler here. :) (In general, of course :) ).
