Austin

Our girls weekend in Austin was absolutely wonderful. Jamie flew in from Denver, Monica flew in from Tulsa, and I was the last to arrive from good ol KC, to visit our Lizzie Lou in her new city. 

I loooved Austin, Teh-has! 

Reasons:

1. Liz Gretz

2. Carrot Cake French Toast from Soco Cafe. The most scrumptious breakfast item I have ever consumed. (ok, not better than my dad's egg's benedict, but close.)

3. PEDI CABS!!! (not sure if that's how you spell it). Basically a really cute guy bicycles you around town for free, and you go really fast, and the wind's blowin in yer haiir....and it's glorious and exhilarating. Exhibit A:

4. Sushi from Imperia. Avocado crab rangoon? Yes, please. If you are ever in the Austin area, this place is a must. Order the Red Dragon and the Hot Mess. It was honestly the most creative and delicious sushi I've ever had. And we got to hang out with miss Rachel Chastain at this dinner!

5. Random bachelor parties we get invited to and are therefore given free drinks for 90% of the evening. Jackpot! No creepers either! Nice Texas boys who supplied us with Sigma Nu secrets. Bahahaha.

6. Awesome patios at every bar and restaurant. 

7. Cheap bellinis at Taverna right before our flights out of town.

8. Tacos from Torchy's Tacos. The "Democrat" was out of this world. Duh. :) 

9. Seeing light pink balloons at one of Brad Womack's bars and thinking it was Lil Ricky's birthday party.

10. Getting to spend quality time with three of my very best friends, catching up, laughing, playing, and enjoying each other's great company. 

ps..I know a lot of this list was about food, but as Giada says: the best way to explore a new city is through its food! and Austin had a lot of good exploring to do :)

Regardless, cheers to one of the very best weekends, and thanks to Liz for being a lovely host. I can't wait to visit again!
