Back From Texas

Went to Austin, Texas for the July 4th weekend. And after visiting, I am heavily leaning towards moving there. Minus the weather (highs in the 100s, lows in the 80s) and the traffic (though not bad while I was there), Austin is unbelievable. The food, the nightlife, the atmosphere, the people...just awesome.

Day 1: Ate at Iron Cactus with BK, Renee and J-Law. Grabbed cocktails and watched line dancing at Graham Central Station. Went downtown to 6th street and grabbed more drinks at Cuba Libre and Oslo.

Day 2: Went disc golfing with J-Law. Then lounged around poolside at BK's house. Went back to downtown Austin for more nightlife. Met up with my college buddies from UDub, Chief and Winston. Grabbed cocktails from Aquarium, Drink, and Spill. And ended the night at a new club called Vicci, where Chief knew the bouncer and got us in for free.

Day 3: Drove to San Antonio. Visited the Alamo. Took the tour of the Riverwalk. Went back to Austin and grabbed a late night dessert at Mozart's on Lake Austin.

Day 4: Ate at Rudy's BBQ, basically a vegetarian's worst nightmare. Went boating on Lake Austin on BK's boat. Then caught fireworks at a park near BK's house.

Day 5: Flew back to Rochester, MN. It was 73 degrees when I flew in...I was cold.
