At some point in my life, I want to live in Austin. At least, that's what my short 2-day trip led me to believe.
Day one included dinner at
Trudy's Tex-Mex & bar-hopping on
6th street. I unfortunately didn't take any pictures this day, so you'll just have to take my word for how amazing it all was! Here is the rest of my trip in photos:
Day 2 started with breakfast at
Juan in a Million, so delicious. Order the "Don Juan" & share, it's a huge plate!
After stuffing our faces with "Don Juan," we did some
Stand Up Paddling (SUP) on Lake Austin. For a whole hour I was able to float on top of the water under the Texas sun...the most relaxing experience ever! SUP was the best $15 I've spent in a long time.

We spent the majority of the afternoon exploring the Texas Capitol. I took a field trip trip here in 4th grade, but it was great to revisit this historical site.

Giving an important speech |

Having an intellectual conversation, clearly. |
After the Capitol, we grabbed lunch at
Hopdoddy Burger Bar. Buffalo, Turkey, Tuna...Hopdoddy has weird combinations of burgers that somehow end up being super delicious!
We topped of our Hopdoddy's burgers with red velvet cupcakes from
Hey Cupcake! along South Congress, AKA
SoCo. Trendy, overpriced shops line the street, & we spent about an hour just sifting through the stores. It was fun.

Climbing to Mt. Bonnell Park |
We ended the day at Mt. Bonnell Park, which gives you a sweet overview of beautiful Austin.

Two days in Austin is NOT enough. I hope I can make it back here soon!
