Adult-Only Austin!

My parents were wonderful enough to keep the kids while Jordan and I went to Austin for a weekend! We ate dinner Friday night at Foreign and Domestic. I had the most amazing pasta dish ever, and Jordan had a delicious fried chicken biscuit. Then we went to a movie!

Saturday morning we rented a canoe and rowed around on Lady Bird Lake. It was beautiful!

Then we went to the Texas State Cemetery, where Christopher Kyle is buried.

Jordan’s grandfather’s friend, George O’Brien, is also buried there. We paid him a visit, too.

I love all the flags.

And I love the fact that Texas road 165 runs right through it, too!

That afternoon we shopped in some cool stores, and then we ate dinner at a pizza place called Bufalina. We got the first pizza out of the Italian, wood-burning oven that night. It hit the spot!

Later that evening, we played the Escape Game. We escaped within the hour, and we solved the mystery of the missing artwork. We had a great time!

Sunday we didn’t have many plans. We slept in, we checked out of the hotel, and then we waited in a long line for La Barbecue - some Franklin-rivaling BBQ from a food truck. It was definitely worth the wait! Incredible!!!! I’d go back to get that brisket again!

Then we went to Sourdough’s to get some fresh, crazy donuts. Again, it was a good thing we didn’t have plans because we waited a LONG time. But the donuts were amazing! Jordan got the salty balls - cream cheese icing, salted butter caramel sauce, and dry roasted peanuts.

I got the dirty berry - fudge icing with grilled strawberries. And it had chocolate chips wherever there weren’t any strawberries. It was wonderful!!!

Then we headed back home. Little did I know that Jordan was being silly in our selfie. :-)

But we got a good picture, too.

It was so wonderful to relax and have a great weekend with Jordan. We had a blast! Thanks, Mom and Dad, for watching the kids!
