Austin Weekend!

This weekend was a treat! Kat, Shelbo, Whit and I met up in Austin for a wonderful girls' weekend. I headed out of Houston toward Brenham to pick up Kat and Shelbo and then, after driving through torrential rain, we arrived in Austin late Friday evening. We took a mini tour of Whit's precious little cottage she is living in and then enjoyed a yummy home cooked dinner. We powered down three bottles of wine and stayed up until 2am catching up and chatting about everything under the sun!

Saturday morning we woke up and enjoyed some coffee on Whit's precious back porch and got ready for the day. We started our day at Taverna where we had $1 mimosas and brunch outside on the patio. Needless to say, life was good. We browsed some of the shops and headed to Barton Springs. It was so relaxing and nice to get a bit of a tan.
We headed back to get ready for a night out on the town! We went to dinner at Vivo and enjoyed amazing queso and margaritas.
Afterwards we headed over to the Scoot Inn to see the Wheeler Brothers, a really awesome local band. The concert was great! We hit up a few bars on West 6th (secretly hoping to run into Brad the bachelor) and then called it a night.
As if we hadn't already packed enough into one weekend, we woke up Sunday and went for a 4 mile walk around Towne Lake (that's right..4 miles)! We had a yummy lunch at Whole Foods and went back to pack up.

It was such a wonderful weekend from start to finish! I am thankful everyday for these girls, the closeness we share and the experiences we get to enjoy together. It's so much fun to chat about where our lives have taken us post-college and our hopes and dreams. It's hard to believe we have now known each other for 6 years and it only continues to get better!
