Austin

Sometimes I like to leave town for a few days (or weeks) and just not tell anyone.  It’s because I think you might come and steal my stuff.  Because, you know, you NEED my collection of crap.  Surely no one else has such a lovely crap collection.

We drove up to Austin for the weekend. It was perfect. If it weren’t so damn hot, I would want to live there. It’s got all the city stuff, but still a lot of green all around. We stayed at the Renaissance and it was so nice. Our room was perfect and Smushy even slept in the little pack-n-play they provided which never happens! She’s always right in between us. It was so nice to have a king sized bed all to ourselves!

Ahhhh!

Sleeping in the NOT grown-up bed!

Awwww!

There are a million restaurants and the food is amazing.  I had the best fajitas in my entire life there.  I want to go back and have some more.  Also, Cheesecake Factory.  I want to live there.  We ordered room service a couple times just to avoid the Smushy in a restaurant craziness.  It costs a billion dollars and unless we win the lottery, we probably won’t ever do it again.  But not having to deal with a crazy toddler in front of people?  Totally made it all worth it. We actually went there to get pictures done. Mr. Silly got me a photo shoot with a real photographer for Mother’s Day. No pics yet, but when I get them, I’ll post them.

We visited the cow statues at the Arboretum. Smushy loved them (of course). We did a lot of walking around out there, but man it was HOT. I am not a fan of the heat.

Smushy riding the cow. Yeehaw!

Loving the cow.

All in all, good trip! I would love to go back someday (in the winter). Fun fun fun!
