We arrived in San Antonio on Thursday and friends were kind enough to pick us up and drive us back to Austin. Our first stop was at an awesome taco place called Torchy's Tacos- I got the Green Chili Pork taco and Taylor had the Trailer Park and Brush Fire. Soooo good and perfectly priced. After lunch we went exploring on UT's campus. And then to this cool spot...
We made dinner with friends and then went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I!!! It was definitely my favorite of the films- very well done directing and acting.
Our next adventure was on Friday to the Texas Hill Country - Fredericksburg. This precious German town is about an hour outside of Austin with wide streets and charming shops. We tried a bunch of tasty samples at Rustlin' Rob's before getting lunch at The Auslander.
We stumbled upon a cool antique store and couldn't help taking a picture with this massive mallet. We drove back to Austin, went to a campus ministry devotional, and then to this donut trailer...
BIG. FAT. DONUTS. is right!! I got Mama's Cake and Tay got Razzle Dazzle. We were in donut heaven.
We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Texas game on Saturday and before the game we grabbed lunch at Plucker's - wings are a pretty good pre-game meal. And they served my sweet tea in a mason jar :)

| we bought t-shirts before the game at this store |
After the game we went to dinner at the home of the couple that leads the Austin Christian Church. We always feel so taken care of by God's family no matter where we are. Next, we explored downtown and then went to a secret spot with a killer view of the city. Unfortunately, no pictures were taken and none would do it justice anyway.
On Sunday we went to church, grabbed lunch at a Vietnamese place and then headed to South Congress Street to check out the vintage shops!

I bought some little metal letters for wedding decorations at Uncommon Objects, but I'll share them later. We tried some delicious ice cream at Amy's and then met up with friends at Town Lake. Taylor and I couldn't believe how many people were out running with their dogs! We would love to live in a city that values health and fitness as much as Austin.

We picked up BBQ at Whole Foods Market and enjoyed our last dinner in Austin. After dinner we went to the most AMAZING cafe called Mozart's. Overall, our trip to Austin was incredible and we were so happy to enjoy the weekend with good friends and each other.
