What a wonderful weekend in Austin, Texas!
Jeremy and I just spend the most delightful time with his Mom, Dad and cousins. The stars aligned for us and we had beautiful cool weather in addition to good luck finding lovely places to eat and visit. We hung out at one of the UT Field Stations on Thursday night for its 40th anniversary celebration. We pilfered some BBQ from the reception and listened to a really fun Austin band. Friday came along and we hit the Alamo Drafthouse and saw the Darjeeling Ltd. Saturday morning brought more beautiful weather and a chance for our visitors to explore more than 5 miles of the Town Lake Trail, the Texas State Capitol, and a couple of yummy restaurants (County Line & Shady Grove for those of you who are familiar). After feeling ridiculously old from simply walking down 6th St. (lots of college freshman with fake ids frequent its bars), we plopped ourselves down at the Elephant Room on Congress for some jazz. And this morning's brunch at the East Side was excellent, as expected.
In between the eating, walking, and sight-seeing, Jeremy's parents also changed the headlight on my car, added transmission fluid to Jeremy's vehicle, tuned our piano and picked 18 pounds of pecans. I'm tired from typing all that!!!
We will post pics when we can.
Since we've been fortunate to have a ton of visitors this Summer and Fall, its our turn to reciprocate. So you can track us on your map: next weekend I'm headed to Boston to visit my Grandpa Ed, cousin Katie, and any other family members I can scare up. :) I'll travel on down to DC mid-week and hope to return home on the 10th. We will be in Mobile for T-giving, and then in Indy for Christmas week. Our season of travel wraps up in Mid-January after we return from the marathon in Orlando. We would love to see anyone we can on our travels.
