Austin Weekend Rendevous

D had a continuing education conference in Austin, so we decided to make a weekend trip of it.  It had been a while since we both visited Austin.  It's a fun city, and we'll definitely be going back again.

The first thing we see when we pull into the hotel.  Is it obvious there are a bunch of dentists here? 

Since we've been in search of the perfect burger, we thought we'd check out Hopdoddy to try their organic burgers.  We waited in line for an hour for these yummy burgers and also had their amazing nutella pretzel shake!

While trying to use the restroom at the Palmer Event Center next to the park, we were given tickets to the event that night - a Mariachi Band.  Since we were obviously under dressed and showed up during intermission, the usher wanted to make sure we didn't just sneak into the show.  When she explained that this is a ticketed event and asked to see our tickets, D proudly showed her our tickets! She apologized and left us quite embarrassed.  Hey, just because we were the only people under 50 years old there doesn't mean we didn't want to party with the Mariachi Band! 

Love this map we found at the Oasis on Lake Travis.  It's so true! 

Next stop, food truck dinner... yum!
