Saturday
Head to Louisville to catch my flight.
Arrive in Austin around 9pm. Mr. Louisville arrives shortly after that and we grab our car and head to the hotel.
After a quick change we venture out on 6th Street. Craziness... I can't imagine going to college here!
We duck into Eurekas! for a late supper. I had an amazing kale and watermelon salad.
Side note: I was trying to explain Eureeka's Castle to M but he had no idea what I was talking about.
Sunday
We head out first thing to Ennis TX to spend the day with his family.
We returned to Austin later that evening and met up with some friends at the Cedar Door.
Afterwards, we walked back to our hotel via 6th Street and ducked into Coyote Ugly. It totally ruined the movie for me.
Monday
Mr. Louisville is in town for a conference so I have the day to myself! I worked out at the hotel gym then met Mr. L and some of his colleagues for lunch at The Shady Grove. I had the cobb salad and it was seriously a high lite of the trip for me!
Afterwards I shopped around.
That evening we went to Vince Young's Steakhouse for dinner with drinks before at Handlebar.
Tuesday
I was able to squeeze in another workout before taking myself out to lunch at Moonshine Grill. I tried a local beer, pimento cheese and a delicious salad.
Afterwords I went to the Contemporary Art Museum and ducked into a few shops and then did a little more exploring.
That evening we went to Black's BBQ for supper then I called it an early night because... too much food!!
Wednesday
Another quick workout and then out to lunch at Numero 28 for the worst meal of the trip. It was so hot and I had planned to do more exploring outside but I relented and went to a cool little movie theater instead. I saw Martian and LOVED IT! Afterwards I made my way back to the hotel stopping at the shops along the way.

That night was date night! M and I went to the bat bridge and waited around for an hour for those stupid bats to emerge but gave up because we were going to miss our dinner reservations at Parkside. We shared oysters, crab fritters and great kale salad, strip steak and amazing pumpkin beignets.
Thursday
We both woke up and were able to get a quick workout in before packing up for our return home. We stopped for lunch at Homeslice Pizza which was definitely another food high lite! Nice crisp crust, fresh toppings... everything I love about pizza! On the way to the airport we drove by a strip of the cutest looking shops! Was bummed I hadn't discovered them sooner. Next time, for sure.
So long Austin... Until next time!
