after driving back from waco, we walked across from our hotel to eat.
we were starving and it was super yummy.
after dinner, we walked around downtown for a while. we thought we would see why 6th street was such a big deal. we quickly realized that we were too old for that scene and that was only one of the million reasons that we were not interested in hanging out there! we did see the driskill on our little journey. that was about the only thing i took of pic of because...well, my eyes and most of those images were burned into my memory anyway.
the next morning, we just hung out at zilker park.
then, the moment john had been waiting for...we ate lunch at la barbecue food truck.
but, not before standing in line for over an hour. i do have to admit that it was worth the wait. it was the best meal that we had in austin and maybe, even, in ever. we were stuffed!!!
that afternoon, john had to check in at the ap conference and i hung out at the hotel trying to decide what we should do next. that's when i realized there was a trader joe's just around the corner. yes, i know that whole foods flagship store was also just around the corner, but i'd never been to trader joe's and i was interested. ummm, wow!!! loved it and every single thing that we bought there!
after a little grocery shopping/browsing at the grocery store, we played a round of peter pan mini golf where we decided to just embrace the awkwardness of all the selfies that we had been attempting throughout the week. basically, we stink at taking selfies. p-u stink!
but, we had fun. and, selfies might not be the only thing that i stink at.
after getting ku-illed in mini golf, we ate breakfast tacos for dinner and yum, again!
the next day, john went to the conference and i did this.
it was fabulous!
later in the afternoon, we visited the graffiti park at castle hills.
it was crazy. so much talent and so many empty cans of spray paint.
after another delicious dinner, we went to moojo.
i will dream of this amazing ice cream sandwich for years to come. i almost cried when i finished it because it was all gone. i had the snickerdoodle-moo, salted caramel pretzel ice cream between two homemade snickerdoodle cookies. mmmmm!!!!
the next morning, while john was at the conference, i packed up our stuff because we had a plane to catch that afternoon and we had some kids to see!
we grabbed a late lunch at home slice because, well, john was there and pizza.
we really had a great time together and our suitcases weren't the only things that came back home stuffed!!!
