Austin Rocks!

This weekend, in honor of Memorial Day and having a lovely 3-day weekend, Ben and I took a trip to Austin. I have never offically been to Austin (only driven through it) and so it was quite the adventure for me. We left Saturday morning early in time for a quick lunch and a 1:00 tee-time. Tee as in a golf tee. Yes, I Lynn played golf on my vacation, by choice. I shot a 65...in 9 holes. Then, I just rode around in the cart for most of the back nine. If you know anything about golf, that's really not a desireable score, but its a start. But there is a double bogie and a bogie thrown in there somewhere that I am proud of. A good score for 18 holes would be somewhere between 30 and 45 or so. Anyways, if you just can't picture me golfing...I'll help you out.




















After golfing, we chilled at our hotel and then went out on the town. We went to where Austin rocks - 6th street. We ate dinner at the Iron Cactus, walked around, and got to hear some cool music and see a live band along with some very interesting people. Overall, a good experience.

Sunday, we went to the famous Mozarts Coffee Shop. It was on Lake Austin with a huge deck right on the water. It was a very relaxing Sunday morning with Ben, my Harry Potter book (book 5), and the lake. After that, we went to see the Capitol building. Amazing building! We finished our trip off with some split shopping (Lynn) and golf (Ben) in the Round Rock area. Quite the relaxing weekend. And then we still had all of Monday to chill! I absolutely love 3-day weekends!
