The week before Memorial Day weekend, Brian and I realized that we had no plans the entire weekend so we decided to go somewhere. We started researching flights but they were outrageous so Austin is the destination we decided on.
Friday we braved the holiday traffic and made it to Austin around 10:30 with Tyler wide awake in the backseat. You put a dvd on and this kid is glued!
We stayed at the Embassy Suites and it was awesome! Any hotel room with a door separating the "living space" from the bedroom is any parents dream! Tyler was a big fan too because there was an indoor pond full of fish. We had to visit them multiple times a day.
Saturday morning we headed to Everly's 2nd birthday party. These two are exactly one week apart in age so it was fun to see them together.
After nap time we headed to Zilker Park to meet up with my parents. We rode the train and then headed to dinner. The restaurant had a live band so Tyler basically danced for 30 minutes straight while we waited for a table. He loved it!
A restaurant with live music and a playground is genius!
Sunday morning we headed to the new children's museum called The Thinkery. Let me just say…it is amazing and puts the Perot to shame! Tyler played in the water room, "cooked", read books, painted, played in the light room, built and then shot a rocket, climbed, and played in the outdoor pond. We ended up leaving with Tyler only in a diaper because he was soaked! So much fun!
Sunday evening we were so excited to go over to Steve and Courtney's house and then to dinner. Tyler and Everly were such good sports as we made them pose for lots of pictures together. :)
Watching Daniel Tiger on mommy's phone :) We kept them out way past bedtime!
Monday morning on our way out of town we were able to grab breakfast with Justin, Leslie, and Logan. Every picture we tried to take of these two was blurry…BOYS!
We are so thankful that we had the chance to take a little family vacation as well as catch up with some of our friends. Cant wait to visit again!
