Anytime I tell people we live in Austin, they make comments like "what a great city!" And it is. Unfortunately, we don't take advantage of all the great things Austin has to offer since we usually stay in our neck of the woods (which is about 30 minutes from downtown.)
Yesterday, we decided to have an Austin outing with our good friends, the Coleman's. We definitely hit some of Austin's hot spots and took advantage of the gorgeous day!
First up was riding Zephyr the train at Zilker Park.
From there we tried an Austin original, Home Slice Pizza. Yum!
The kids loved drinking their St. Arnolds Root Beer out of the bottle!
Cheers!
They give the kids pizza dough balls to play with. Genius!!
Reid said he was a cooker?!?
And Connor had shaving cream on his face!
After lunch, it was time to walk up and down South Congress to find a few murals.
Apparently, they didn't read the sign first...
Ok, better!
One of my favorite murals!
After leaving downtown, we had to swing by the mall and as we walked into Macy's, Santa's mailbox and letters were set up.
To translate the above: "From Reid. I been good so can I want a toy dinosaur"
To translate: "for Christmas I would like a house in Magnolia! And I have tried to be good. And this year I am going to be at my grandmas house. from: Connor"
If you stamp and mail them, Macy's will donate $1 to [I believe]Make a Wish Foundation.
It was a great day spent making wonderful memories!
And I love them so much...
