Austin Texas

This view was just amazing I didn't want to leave.

Who's are bigger the Cannon or Gerret's?

This is the view from Mt. Bonnell I would love a piece of land over looking that! This was at Oasis resturant the place to watch the sunsets it was beautiful

The Capital building of Austin, It really is bigger than our nations capital


The view from Barton Spring on our canoe


Gerret and I haven't had a ton of time to explore Texas and we love traveling and venturing out to new areas. So Gerret decided this would be a great weekend to go I wasn't gonna argue with a trip out of town. We were very lucky to find a cheap hotel room off of price line. love that website! for $40 a night at a double tree Awesome we were excited. We had a great list from family and friends telling us what we had to do when we were there and restaurants to eat at. amazing suggestions that were so much fun thank you so much.

We went canoing on Barton Springs were they had plenty of snapping turtles and swans and all sorts of fish, Hiking at Zelik Park, and checked out the view at Mt Bonnell over lake Travis which was absolutely beautiful. toured the capitals Congress that is an amazing building. We enjoyed lots of yummy food at the Oasis restaurant that over looks Lake Travis and gives you this feeling like you not even in Texas. Had breakfast at Omeletree a very Hippie and natural breakfast cafe really good though. Of course we had to have dessert somewhere so we went to Amys ice cream kinda like Cold stone but way cheaper and very yummy. It was so nice to get away for a few days. Austin is a beautiful part of Texas to visit with lots of outdoor activities that is surrounded with hills, lakes and rivers I highly recommend visiting;) Thanks Babe for a great weekend getaway. Got take advantage of that while I still can!

Yay! So glad you guys were able to go. Looks like a fun trip and you hit all the amazing hot spots. Austin certainly is beautiful. Amazing it's in Texas ;). Cherish those couple times these next few months. Parenthood is magical ... but the times you remember it being just the two of you will carry you through the journey of parenthood over the next 20 or so years!
