Russ and Rachel come to visit!!


Texas met Philadelphia this weekend when Russ and Rachel came to visit us in Austin...







It was a weekend jam-packed with fun and excitement!!!!




First we went out to dinner on the Bluffs of Lake Travis. Margaritas and mirth were had as we watched the sunset.




After an eventful night on Sixth street (the madri gras of Austin) we set out to Enchanted Rock... I know, I know, you may have seen Enchanted Rock pics before, but it is the coolest place to go near Austin and it allowed us to work up an appetite in preparation for brisket!!!!!

After Enchanted Rock, we went to Coopers in Llano and ate and ate magical brisket!!!











After digesting a little we went tailgating at the Draught house (we were literally sitting in camping chairs behind our car at a bar, thats how they do it in Austin) .

Howdy Pardner....


Sunday morning, it was more hiking to work off the food-filled weekend. Here we are along one of Louie's favorite hikes on the Greenbelt.
Then we went to lunch at Trudy's and had "migas" (egg scrambler mixed with tortilla strips and picante) breakfast fajitas and Mexican Eggs Benedict (migas with muffin, ham, and queso topping). Afterward we took a campus tour.....

We found a museum on campus and will post more about it later....An especially fun exhibit explained to us how Texas was formed in the beginning of time, so Russ and Rachel got to find out that Texas really is the center of the universe.

That's totally not fair that you posted your blog first! In our defense, we were stuck on a plane all night :) Thanks for your southern hospitality! We had a blast.

I swear I tried to stop Jack, but he's like a blogging machine. I hope your flights were good - anyway, you have pictures of Friday night! "uh oh" for me.
