One Final Summer Getaway

We didn't plan any big trips this summer, just some small weekend getaways and our last one was a trip to Austin to stay with our family there. We all love Austin... the cousins, the food, the springs, the food, the ice cream, the shopping, the food! The first day we were there we hit Anthropologie, Amy's Ice Cream and Phil's Ice House. Three of my favorites! That night we went to Torchy's Tacos and then went down to Zilker Park for a dip in Barton Springs followed by The Sound of Music Musical performed in the park! That was such a fun night! The next day Lila and I took a sewing class together and came home with cute matching skirts! She is quite the seamstress, I can't wait to see her next creation! That evening we hit the food trucks to try out all kinds of deliciousness! Can you tell our favorite thing to do when we visit Austin is eat! Saturday morning we had brunch at my favorite restaurant in the whole world or at least of those I've tried, La Condesa, and it did not disappoint! We started with fennel and fig yogurt, followed by an assortment of salsas and guacamoles of which my favorite was the guacamole with watermelon, I enjoyed a orange marmalade margarita, then we had our entrees, I had the amazing pork tacos and then they surprised us with desserts for the table and to top it all off the owners had paid for the entire tab! That was a great treat! After brunch we shopped around downtown for a while and that evening we went back to Barton Springs for another dip. On the way home we were still hungry so we hit the pizza food truck and it hit the spot! It was a great time eating, swimming and playing with the family!
