ATX

We decided this Friday to drive out to Austin for the day and just soak up the vibe. I absolutely love Austin, Texas.  I love driving in to Austin on the 35 North and looking at the buildings downtown. Almost immediately you know this city is unique with the local residents proudly displaying their "Keep Austin Weird" bumper stickers on their cars. Austin is buzzing with creative electricity and evidence that the city is loved is apparent by how clean the Austinites keep it. My husband and I had lunch at Freebirds World Burrito, where the atmosphere is coined "not normal". The food was fast, good and reasonably priced. We then went on to enjoy a gorgeous day at Barton Springs/Zilker Park. I love that Austin has a natural spring/pool with this beautiful woodsy surrounding right in their downtown area. We caught the twenty-minute train ride on the Zilker Zephyr that takes you around Zilker Park. I enjoyed watching the Austin residents getting their workouts, walking their dogs/babies and rowing in Lady Bird. There's so much more to enjoy in Austin, but this was how we spent our Friday in the ATX. I'm hoping that we will be able to make our move to Austin very soon in the near future. This is where I want to live life!
