Our trip to Austin Texas

Wednesday we headed off to Austin Texas.

Emma was a dream on the 2 flights there.
With the exception she didn't nap when we wanted her to. Instead she decided to nap as we just landed in Austin.

We stayed our 1st night in this funky fun hotel that had a window from the shower to the bedroom. Emma thought it was so fun to play peek a boo.

We had yummy food at Matt's El Rancho.



Douggie and Emma did a little hot tubbing.




Thursday morning we headed over bright and early to the Frazier house.
After a little play time at the house, we headed to Phil's Icehouse for lunch.

Kinda annoyed that these strangers just had to be in the picture.


We took a little afternoon walk around their adorable neighborhood.


Played in their super fun backyard.


And then enjoyed bath time together.


Friday morning Emma opened up her welcome gift from Audrey.
It was so sweet of Audrey to think of her.

Then we headed off to Zilker Park.
Emma just couldn't get this whole time change down and decided to take a nap instead of playing at the park.

She did wake up in time to go on the train with Daddy and Audrey.



Friday night we were so excited to go to dinner at the Salt Lick in Driftwood.
I can't get over how cute these girls look!!!

The gang minus the photographer Mark.
This place was so much fun, and the best part is that it is BYOB.
So we showed up with a cooler of beer and enjoyed our yummy BBQ.


The smoker inside made the place smell amazing.

After dinner we sat outside and watched the band for a bit.

Courtney and sweet baby Charlotte.

After dinner my friend Maria drove in from Houston to hang out.
Then the guys had a night out to and went to grab a few beers.

Saturday morning we enjoyed a little quality time with baby Charlotte.

We went to lunch at the Hula Hut on Lake Austin.

Mark with sweet baby Charlotte.

Maria, Audrey and Courtney.

Doug's cousin Aaron and his girlfriend Shelly live in Austin and joined us for lunch.


After lunch we headed to the trailer park for a little afternoon treat.
These trailer parks are a big thing in Austin.
They are a bunch of trailers that serve really yummy food.


Emma had to have a blue snow cone. I am so bummed that I didn't get an after picture of her blue mustache.

After afternoon naps, we headed back to the Fraizer house for a little playtime, dinner and cocktails.


The Fraizer family had a few friends over to join in on the fun.
We were happy to meet Travis and his two kids Sadie and Nolan.

After dinner the ladies had a chance to go out for a little wine and dessert.
I had such a great time with Courtney and Maria.

And here we were this morning on our plane home.

We had such a great trip!
I am so sad that we had to leave and can't wait to go back and visit again.

Thank you to Aaron and Shelly for hanging out.
Thank you to Maria for making the drive over to visit.
And a big thank you to Mark, Courtney, Audrey and Charlotte for being such great hosts and tour guides.
