Roadtrip.......Austin, TX

A couple weeks ago, we hit the road and headed to Austin for my cousin's wedding. The last time Bethany and I spent an extended period of time in Austin was November 27, 1998 (yep, the clock ran out on the Ags that afternoon). This isn't going to be a blog about a football game, but I must point out that Bethany attended that game after only dating me for 50 days! Did I mention that our seats were in the t.u. student section? Ohhh yeah....I knew Bethany was something special, but this knocked it out of the park!

Back to the story. We left town around 9:30am to head up to the State Capitol. While driving, we were scoping out spots to take bluebonnet pictures (sorry...pics will be in next blog). Madelyn slept the entire trip....so Bethany and I were chatting, listening to music, and smelling all the Texas barbecue cooking along the way. We made it to Austin around lunchtime and decided to meet up with my sister and her family at Mimi's Cafe (fwiw, they have amazing muffins). Below is a pic of Madelyn and Bethany hanging out before we are served (Madelyn was very excited after a long car ride).



We hung out at the hotel for a few hours before heading off to the wedding. Below are some pics of Madelyn at our hotel. She loved running all around the room and playing in front of the mirror.



Madelyn did a great job at the wedding and loved the reception at the Driskill. Below are some pics.
