One of my roommates from college came to town with her kiddos. We had so much fun showing them around Austin. We started at the capital building, we took the kids to our local representative's office, and they had a chance to sit behind his desk! That night we watched the Mexican Free-tailed bats emerge from the Congress Ave bridge. The bats were really amazing to watch.
For breakfast the next day we had Round Rock Donuts. Yep, we sugared up the kids and then we did it again by checking out "pie happy hour" at the Texan in lovely Hutto!
Next on our list of restaurants was the Hula Hut (Tikki-Mex food). Then we climbed the stairs to the top of Mt. Bonnell. This has such a great view of Austin.
The next day we all headed south to San Antonio. Our first stop was the Alamo. Our kids thought the giant Koi were the best part of the Alamo, KIDS! Before they left we went to the San Fernando Cathedral. It is the oldest standing Church building in Texas. The ashes of the heroes of the Alamo are in the Church. It was an amazing building.
We were so sad to have to send them back home. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again.
When we come to visit you again in Texas I want to go to all the food places you guys visited : )
