With a sudden free week off from work Evan and I decided that it was road trip time! We had been wanting to go to Austin and a couple other places in Texas but hadn't found the time yet. We set out Saturday morning for our 5 day last minute Texas road trip vacation, first stop Austin. I originally wrote out a lot more content for this post but it got way too long so I am just giving the highlights.
We arrived in Austin around lunch time on Saturday, checked in to our hotel then headed out to try a local spot for lunch I have heard great things about, The Blue Dahlia Cafe. I got an open face tartine and Evan got a frittata that he raved about.
After lunch we head out to explore a couple sites after that we went back to the hotel and relaxed before getting ready for dinner and 6th street. We ate dinner at the Iron Cactus then we found a roof top bar with a live band and stayed put for the remainder of the night.
The next morning we woke up and grabbed some acai bowls from a local spot that were seriously delicious. Once we finished up we were ready to make our way to Lady Bird lake for some stand up paddle boarding. Stand up paddle (SUP) boarding ended up being my favorite part of the whole trip. It was such a blast, something different, active and outdoors all make for a great time.
After walking around all of Austin we scouted out a food truck food court for dinner. It was called the Picnic and had 6 different food trucks and lots of picnic tables, we tried a little of everything.
Then we spent the night hanging out with my cousin who happened to also be in Austin. We got up the next morning and spent several hours at the San Marcos outlet mall before heading to our next stop, Fredricksburg.
