Last weekend Walker and I took a quick trip to Austin. He had a work trip and I wasn’t planning on going at first. Then I got to thinking that I hadn’t experienced a lot of real summer weather, you know super hot days and warm nights-the kind of days you don’t have to change your outfit at all. As silly as it sounds I was also really wanting a hair cut and my stylist is in Austin. You think after a year of living in Seattle I would have found one but no. I finally committed when I saw that tickets (only 2 weeks out) weren’t that expensive and I could use miles-even better! So I just booked a ticket and went to Austin.

It was quite the whirlwind of a trip. We had dinner with Walker’s parents as soon as we landed. We met up with 2 sets of friends that evening. The next day we had brunch with friends at Snack Bar on South Congress. I met up with a friend in the afternoon and we had a great time catching up while sitting in the sun. It was so warm when we were there and it felt great! I was so happy to be sticking to my seat. Sometimes it just feels so good to be hot.

Later on Sunday we met up with a group of friends and went on a boat party. That was unexpected and really fun. I stayed with my friend Katie that night and met her dog Rio for the first time. On Monday I wandered around Austin and walked by some of my favorite places. I stopped by my old office and said hi to my coworkers. Walker and I had dinner with friends that night. On Tuesday I got my hair cut, had lunch with a friend, and headed back to the airport. It was short and packed full of fun and I can’t wait to go back again. I really do love Austin.
