Katie's 12th Birthday

Trip to Austin 2015

The girls and I went for a mini-vacation to Austin to see our friends and do some fun tourist stuff. 

Our first stop was the Blue Hole. It was absolutely gorgeous! The water was so clear that I could see my feet.

We enjoyed watching the teenagers cliff dive while being thankful that our children are still too little. 

This area is about 3 feet deep, except for a 6 foot surprise trench in the middle. A very surprise trench. 

Next day, we hit the capital. 

And on to weird South Congress Avenue. 

We enjoyed some famous Amy's Ice Cream.

The girls posed with this sign that didn't remind us of anything at all. 

I can feel the love...

You can't pass up lemonade from a giant lemon. 

 We went to Congress avenue to wait for the bats but I guess no one told them they were supposed to fly every night. Guess that's something for next time. 

Our last day there we canoed down the river towards downtown. Our apologies to the four other kayaks we bumped into. 

Me in my cool visor. 

After a hot canoe ride, we cooled off in Barton Springs. Brrr! It is a constant 68 degrees and beautiful. 

We had a great trip but it's good to be back home.
