Slackers go to Texas

      Before our drive down to the the boat, Mike and I took a little trip to Texas for Mike's nephew's wedding. We flew into Dallas and spent some time with his mom and on to Austin for some fun before the wedding on Saturday.  We stayed at the lovely Hotel San Jose right in downtown Austin so everything was in walking distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yummy!! 

What a great town.  If you want to eat,drink,and listen to some great music this is the place to be!!  We toured around and saw the oldest pool in Texas called "The Big Eddy"  Where they used to have a show with a diving horse! 

 

 

loved the name of this truck

Austin is such a fun place to visit and the food and music are fantasic. There are food trucks parked on just about every corner and bands too!!

 

After 2 nights in Austin we spent 2 more nights in a beautiful house with 3 other couples on the river just outside of Wimberly, Tx.  The wedding was a few miles away at a ranch and the ceremony was held under a beautiful grove of live oak trees.
