San Antonio












We have had so much fun this week! We have gone on an Austin Duck Tour around the city, ate some fabulous lunch at the Hula Hut, and taken a trip to San Antonio (about an hour from Austin.) We visited the historic Alamo, strolled down San Antonio's beautiful River Walk, and let the kids let loose at the Children's Museum. Here's a bunch of pics...

Austin, Texas!!



After 2 1/2 days of pretty much non-stop driving, we made it safely to Austin on Saturday night. My Mom and Ray had stayed in Boston for a couple of extra days, and then flew in with Ollie and Em on Sunday morning. I can't believe how much I missed my babes over just a couple of days, but am so glad that they didn't have to make the grueling drive with us.
We are so excited to be back in Austin! It is a lot cooler than it was when we arrived this time last year. (It's in the mid-upper 80's as opposed to 100 degrees.) Such beautiful, sunny weather. We have rented a cute little apartment in Clarksville, an area of downtown Austin, which we LOVE! I love this area of town, and we're excited to be scoping out a part of town which we would potentially love to live. It's going to be such a fun summer!

Here are a couple of pics of Ollie and Em eating watermelon out on our Austin deck. Yay! It's summer time!
