Mini vacation to Austin/Dallas!

We The We We had a busy week/weekend last week!  We had plans to go to Dallas for the UT VS UCLA game at Cowboys stadium with Eric's family, and then Macy's asked Eric to go to UT Wednesday to recruit ! We ended up making a mini vacay out of it. 

We left early Wednesday morning so Eric could be there by 10:30. He had to be there from 11-5. We couldn't check into the hotel Macy's got for us (Eric) so I had to entertain myself for 6 hours 😩. I thought I would be in the mood to shop. I wasn't. I bounced from the Domain, Barnes and Noble, Target, Starbucks and then I browsed the co op and he was FINALLY done. 

That night we planned on going to dinner at Romeos but when we were on our way there I looked it up and they closed! So we ended up going to Quattro Gatti, I think. It's on congress right in front of the Capitol. (Me and Bree ate there the night I found my wedding dress!). After dinner we went to a jazz bar and met with Eric's friend Ryan and Tana for drinks and to catch up. 

We woke up early the next morning to go paddle boarding! I had been wanting to for so long. We went to the Texas rowing center and it was about $15 an hour so not too bad. We brought food with us so we had a picnic lunch afterwards. We are so cute. We were able to check into our next hotel after lunch so we checked in, changed and headed to the mall. We had dinner at Matts, one of our favorites and then headed to 6th street. We spent the whole night at Petes dueling piano bar, SO FUN. We had both never been and se loved it. We would definitely go again 

Friday morning we woke up super early. We had woke up early every morning before so it wasn't really a big deal. We knew we needed to wake up early if we were going to wait in at franklins for bbq. We got there around 8 and didn't end up eating until around 12:15. It was worth the wait for a one time thing. If we were in austin again and wanted bbq we probably would just chose the county line or the salt lick but it's definitely worth having at least once. 

After eating we headed to Dallas. We didn't do much there. We had dinner with the California family and friends Friday night. Saturday morning we had brunch with Nathan and Ashley. The game was at 7 but everyone going got there around 4 so they could tailgate. Me and Krisha stayed behind with Mike. We took him to a dog park and then found our selves in forth worth at the stockyards. We found a dog friendly restaurant and walked a little bit before heading back 

It was a great trip! 

Texas Football

Eric's dad scored us free tickets to the UT VS IOWA ST game this weekend! One day I hope to get Eric season tickets ;) one day when we are rich. 

We left early Saturday so we could make it to austin in time for lunch. We had bbq. What else? We went to bob mulliers in south east austin and it was delicious. Eric says the best pork ribs he has EVER had one of the top 3 briskests. 

It was really good. We will definitely go back. 

UT games are so fun. Even though I don't care that much for football I really enjoy going to these games, Eric probably doesn't want to hear that. Anywas it was a fun weekend with his dad and Krisha ! Thanks Brian for the tickets! 

How did I forgot to mention Matthew McConaughey was there?! 😍 he is my favorite!
