Mikey and I took a little vacation with Jasn and Sandi a few weeks ago to Austin, Texas. Home of Austin City Limits (huge music festival) and home to my Aunt Gail & Uncle Thomas. Four days without kids started at the airport sipping on beer...
Weather was in the 80's and we took advantage of the outdoors. The shows didn't start until afternoon so we were able to spend time with Aunt Gail & Uncle Thomas downtown Austin for lunch and shopping.
Friday we saw Foster the People and Beck, among other artists.
We didn't buy passes for Saturday. Instead, we visited Aunt Gail & Uncle Thomas' land where they have this amazing house where they host 'house concerts' for local artists.
They designed the entire house themselves and have three bedrooms to house the artists while they are in town.
Beautiful land with a river running through it
Uncle Thomas insisted we stage this pic...love their playfulness
Sunday we went to a famous local spot call the Pit. Hence...
Delicious southern comfort food where you BYOB. Yes, please.
Sunday we saw the Kongos, Fitz & the Tantrums, the Replacements, Lourde and Pearl Jam!
Austin is a gorgeous and fun city. Could definitely see us living there. But since we don't, I'm more than happy to continue visiting our gracious hosts :)
Meanwhile, the girls spent several days with their grandparents in Ft. Wayne and then my parents picked them up and brought them back to Indy for some special time together. These two cuties are so fortunate to have family that loves them so much. Thanks for the help to all our parents!
