Visit to Austin

i really tried to come up with a wittier title. it just wasn't happening.

this past weekend, david and i got away. and man, was it nice. i decided to surprise david with a pre-birthday present - which really didn't count, because it was just as much a present for me as it was for him. we went to stay with our friends steve and courtney miller. it was our first ever laid back, non-touristy austin trip ever and it was my favorite by far.

i guess i'm old, but being home by 11:30 and not sharing 1 bathroom with 15 people was awesome. we got to spend time as we are - as friends. just talking, getting great food, sharing some beers on the porch. pretty much a most fantastic weekend. sadly, we have no pictures of the weekend because we just forgot. (seriously, for everywhere steve had to carry the flower camera pouch, there should be more than this.)

this first picture is stolen from steve and court. this was at the draught house our last night. i look a little too laid back in this picture. yikes.

and this was our table at salt lick - this redonkulous bbq place outside austin. yes, it was byob. yes, we waited for an hour and a half in the pouring rain. and yes, it was so delicious, your mama better watch out (...cause she might get slapped).
