Austin weekend getaway

November 4, 2013
 
  This past weekend we went to Austin to see Dan's parents and to have a date night.  We haven't been down there since June so it was good to go, get away, see Dan's family and relax some.  It was strange leaving from Ft. Worth and not Wichita Falls, although I-35 on Sunday evening was ridiculous and it took us almost the same amount of time to get from Austin to Ft. Worth as it did from Austin to Wichita Falls.  We got there on Friday evening, hung out with Dan's parents and then Saturday morning took Holt to the airport so I could take some pictures for his birthday invitations.  It's so great to watch Dan with Holt at an airport, they both share the love of aviation.  I can already tell Holt is going to have the same passion as his daddy.
  Later on Saturday afternoon Dan and I left to go have some adult time for the evening.  We went to the Iron Cactus for an early dinner.  We sat out on the patio, had some drinks and enjoyed the conversation with just the two of us instead of having to juggle the little munchkin and try to keep him entertained.  We followed up dinner by going to North by Northwest, it's a brewery in Austin and sampled some of their home brewed beers.  The next morning we got up, had some breakfast and walked around the Arboretum to some of my favorite stores.  It was so great to have a weekend away with my hubby and get to relax since the past few months have been so crazy for us.

Mike captured this picture.  I think its my favorite picture ever taken. 


Flying his plane and making his engine noises. 






  Holt got to check out his and Joshua's new ride at Grandpa and Nana's too.  Judging by the smile on his face and all the giggles, I think he loved it!

This is just a few of the endless amount of toys he had to choose from.
