Family Vacay {Austin Part 1}

Our third day we drove up to Austin and had dinner at the Hula Hut. The restaurant is on the lake and is a mixture of Hawaiian and Tex-Mex. The food was yummy and I loved their vintage covered chairs.

Later that evening we checked into our hotel and then Dad, K, and I walked a block down to the state capitol. The House was still meeting so we were allowed to go inside and check it out. We enjoyed looking around inside, watching the House discuss things, and walking around the beautiful monuments outside. Everything is bigger in Texas.

 

Family Vacay {San Antonio}

I haven't been on a vacation with my parents in I don't know how long. Probably close to a decade. My cousin was getting married the weekend of April 6th and my family decided to make a week trip out of it since the wedding was in Texas. I joined my parents and little sister in San Antonio before heading to Austin where Matt met up with us.

          

We spent two days in San Antonio. The first day we drove over to Ft. Sam Houston (where my dad worked) and by our old house. We made it downtown just in time to get inside the Alamo before it started raining. Because of the crummy weather we ended up just going to the outlets for some shopping.

The next day proved to be beautiful and we went back to the Alamo for a re-do. We also had brunch at a Belgian place (La Frite - so yummy) and then walked along the Riverwalk.

The next part of our trip was spent in Austin. I'll save that for another post.
