SUMMER VACATION 2017

We took our first family vacation as a little fam of three!

We enjoyed all the foods, visited the Silos, 

took naps and enjoyed early bedtimes,  met up with friends, 

endured the Texas summer heat, and 

ate ice cream, tiny pies, pancakes, and tacos.

AUSTIN IN APRIL

Happy Fall Y'all!  I realize it's October and I should be crafting fall decor, eating candy corn, wearing fall scarves, and drinking pumpkin spice lattes (I drank one just for FALL and I think one pumpkin flavored anything will be enough for 2012).  But since I'm a behind on blog stories from spring and summer, I'll throw in a few wildcards to mix it up with the fall posts!

Jess and I drove down to Austin 

to meet up with some sweet, dear Louisiana girls 

and one little handsome guy!  

We got our tickets for Country Living Fair.

State shaped tables, I'd pick you, Louisiana.

This sweet mama and her sweet baby boy!

Country Living Fair goodies and inspiration.

 

Afternoon coffee and treats at Mozart's, a good place to relax by the water. 

 

Loved hanging out with some of the best people you'll ever meet!

Then we went exploring on South Congress downtown 

 

Mags found some delicious bacon candy for her man.

We ended our night with the perfect combo of cupcakes, pizza, and ice cream. Don't judge.

 

Thankful for fun trips to refresh and relax!

SATURDAY IN AUSTIN

Brian had the idea to plan a little trip to ATX for me after he read my summer twenty twelve list! Road trip to Austin. Check.  And it's official. I heart Austin.  (I still need to post about the Austin Country Living Fair with some of my best girls from April)  But for now, here are a few snapshots from the Crains recent visit to the wonderful and weird Austin!

Yes, I ate a donut covered in marshmallow fluff, chocolate syrup, and brownie pieces.  Don't judge. We didn't come close to eating the whole thing.  Texas heat plus a million grams of sugar = just say no.  

Our first ride on Segways for a short and fun tour of downtown.
