A Little Delay

So I am a little behind on my posts.  The holidays have been busy and my nights have been filled with finding the right Christmas card to send out (why do these companies make it impossible to find a good fit with your photo?) and planning my annual ornament exchange party.

Anyway, so after our fun Halloween weekend, we went to Austin for fun.  We needed a break and needed to get out of town for a change of scenery and knew we wouldn't be going anywhere during the winter.  We booked a room at the Embassy Suites so that we could put the girls to bed and then still have our own room to watch TV, such a great concept!  And my mom was in town too for a wedding and volunteered to babysit so Todd and I could have a date night. We went to South Congress and ended up at the best Italian restaurant ever, Vespaio!!  Yum!  Check out the amazing food, I highly recommend eating there next time you are in Austin, butternut squash ravioli appetizer, Todd's baby cow dish, and my flounder- the flavors were sooo good!!  Todd said it was the best meal he had ever eaten.

And South Congress has gotten even more busy than the last time we were in town!  Austin has really grown.  When I was in college, South Congress was not a place you went very often, unless you were going to eat at Magnolia Cafe or shop at Uncommon Objects :)

We also visited Todd's dad, Buelo Richard and went to Zilker Park the next day.  The park is amazing, with a real fire truck, musical instruments, a balloon vendor and tons of stuff to climb on.  I love Zilker but was disappointed the train was being repaired, Luna really wanted to ride it :(

Then we went to Guero's for lunch and met my mom and Raul there.  It's changed so much from it's old little spot on Oltorf but still as good as ever.

After naps, we stopped by Haley and Grace's house, the girls I used to nanny for when Haley was 3 months old and she is now a Freshman in High School and Grace is in the 7th!!!  I can't believe how much they have grown and their little sister Lottie is now in the 3rd grade.

Then we went to Hula Hut for dinner. I wanted Luna to see the water and the boats.  Unfortunately Luna had such a busy day she was a little cranky but we still had a great dinner!

On Sunday we went to Mount Bonnell to hike to the top and then to Juan in the Million for breakfast with Buelo Richard, and our friends Scott and John before we headed back home.  Seems like most of my visit had to do with food, but it's sooo good.  Didn't help my post baby diet, no wonder I can't shake these last 8 pounds.  We had a great time and can't wait to go back!
