We drove down to Austin for the long Memorial Day weekend. It was so fun to see a new part of Texas (it is green there! and there are hills!) and we did a lot of fun things. On our way down we stopped in a small town called Hico to try the supposed "best pie in Texas". It did not disappoint! We've been excited to see the bats at the Congress Avenue Bridge ever since Matthew started loving bats more than two years ago. We had fun taking in the downtown Austin views while waiting for the sun to set. It got pretty dark before the bats finally emerged so it was hard to see, but there were definitely A LOT of them flying around!

On Saturday we drove down to San Antonio (in the horrible rain that caused flash flooding. So scary!) to go to Sea World! It stopped raining right as we pulled up, and we had a perfect day! We loved all the shows and rides.

On Sunday we walked around the capitol building and the botanic gardens. We really loved being surrounded by all the green again (although it was very humid from all the rain all weekend!).

Austin was a lovely place and we are so glad we got to visit before our time in Texas is up.

How cool, Cat! My sister lives close to Austin--I just might need to visit. Your photos are phenomenal. Hooray for cherishing your time in Texas!
Remember Sea World on tour? Best thing ever. I still remember walking out and "Unforgettable" was playing. So delightful. I love Sea World.
I love checking in on your family. You've got a great one. Send my best to Joseph!
