We went to Austin this weekend for R’s friend Juliane’s wedding. We really had the most divine time relaxing, playing, dancing, boating, celebrating, eating, laughing, hugging, boot shopping and sunning.
First, we flew into Houston, taking advantage of the fact that my work has a studio there. I am staying in Houston a few days extra so that my plane ticket was subsidized. It turns out there *are* advantages to having a hub in Houston. (I may not admit I wrote this later). We drove to Austin in our retal car, but not before we found my new favorite lunch spot “The Spicy Pickle”. It turns out, upon further investigation, that they are planning new locations in Los Angeles. I knew it was going to be a hit!
You can’t see my spicy pickle in this photo because I had already eaten it…
We arrived safely in Austin and made our way to “The Salt Lick” for the rehearsal dinner. Talk about meat. Check it out. You know you’re in Texas when…
We ate our faces off…and began the celebration of Jules & Adam!
Later, R tried to capture the wind (which was very warm, if not hot) by photographing it blowing through my hair, which caused us to laugh. The second time he got it…
The next day was the wedding, held at a gorgeous location called “Barr Mansion”. Seriously, people. This wedding was the most wonderful…
After the ceremony we celebrated wildly with RJ’s friends from college, all of whom I now adore madly…
Since the wedding was on Friday, we kept playing well into the next day. We went boating on Lake Travis! Here we are ambling down to the water and then it’s Jules, Adam, Sam & RJ in the boat…
We went tubing and swam in the water which was a cool 81 degrees. Yes, 81 degrees was cool at this point in the 100+ degree weather.
Here he waits to go…
And here I go!
Didn’t boating do wonders for our hair?
Finally, we went out for the most decadent dinner. We ate ourselves silly again and just had an overall splendid time. Yes, splendid…
Congratulations to Jules and Adam and thank you for the best wedding weekend getaway ever!
