So for our anniversary we spent a 3 day weekend up in Austin. It was our first time going and I fell in LOVVVE with that city!!! Ryan was super hesitant about going there. He kept saying "I hear it's just one big hippie town." And here I am thinking "I know right!" ohhh how we differ. Anyways once I told Ryan there were awesome swimming holes all around Austin he was on board and we both a fab weekend!
We got to stop at the beautiful San Antonio Temple on are way up to Austin.
Barton Springs Swimming Hole just out side the city. Quick story, so we had heard that this water was freezing but us being from Idaho and all, where you put on your swimmers and jump in ice cold lakes at the first chance of any warmth from the sun after a long winter, well we thought we could handle it like champs. So we get there and cautious Ryan dips his toe in to check the temp and looks back at me and says "oh it's not bad at all!" So because I am a super trusting wife I cannon ball right it, it felt like I was punched in the face, got the wind knocked out of me and all my muscles cramped up at the same time, it was SO cold SO freaking cold. When I finally make my way up for a breath Ryan is cracking up a refuses to get it because it was so cold. brat. Then we enjoyed watching other people get in for the first time with pained expressions on their face for the rest of the day, why is it so funny watch stuff like that? Later we went back to the hotel and enjoyed the beautiful pool while playing all the best little kid pool games.
The Capitol, I loved how this city was set up, there is the funniest street full of awesome restaurants and shops that goes straight through downtown and up to the capitol. We check out all the local places like...
an awesome old fashion soda shop and candy store...tons and tons of amazing vintage clothing stores, some antique stores and super cool disguise store...
Oh and of coarse we our hearts out from a local wing place for ry to burgers and shakes(my nutella and pretzel shake pictures oh my yummyness), mexican food, pizza and my favorite Moonshine Brunch!
I love exploring new places! And I love long weekends, road trips and mini-vaca's.
