Austin: Saturday Hodgepodge

May 20, 2010 by Amy

Saturday morning the weather was still not cooperating and the disc golf got canceled.  We used the day for Austin sight-seeing and pool time.  Just a few notable moments for Saturday.

Notable Moment #1: At breakfast, Brad and Drew ended up sitting at the table next to us.  Kyle was with his family and came to visit with Brad.  Nothing exceptional happened but it was just one of those surreal moments like, “Oh, we’re eating breakfast next to some FNL folks.”  Also notable?  The pecan syrup on the bar.  It tastes every bit as good as it looks.

Notable Moment #2: Visiting the University of Texas Co-op.  Want an orange t-shirt?

How about something else orange?

It was basically a two story Burnt Orange Wal-mart.

Notable Moment #3: Visiting Sandra Bullock’s bakery.  I got a pistachio chocolate marshmallow thingie.  It was yummy.

It was actually tough trying to find a “normal” pair of cowboy boots.  All starting at about $400.  I saw one woman walk out with 4 pairs.  Me?  Going to need to call Suze back on this one.

Notable Moment #5: No pictures to speak of but we spent the evening at the pool which included a hot tub and lazy river.  Ah, we were living the life.  Especially since we had plopped down across the way from Drew and Heather, Tinker and Brad.  Oh hi, FNL cast, it’s just the Podcast Chicks over here.

That pretty much wraps up our time in Austin.  My goal was to keep a smile on my face and I daresay I exceeded my goal for days to come.

    Yum the food looks good. Orange was definitely the color! And for boots I think I like the first pair but I might have to try them on. Looks like they have a HUGE selection.
