Shaun and Christin's Visit

Shaun and Christin arrived on Friday afternoon. I was excited because it was the first time that they had come to Austin since I moved here. This was also the first opportunity for all of us to spend time together since Cara and I got engaged. Despite the rain on Friday afternoon, I had planned for us to see Willie Nelson Friday night. The rain passed and we had a great night at the Stubb's for the Willie concert. On Saturday, we watched the Texas/OU football game at Chad and Mireya's place with several of our friends. Saturday night, we went to Esther's Follies and did Sixth Street. We tried to visit some of the clubs that have been featured in "The Real World-Austin," but they have become so popular that the lines were too long. In Austin, there's no reason why anyone should pay a cover or wait in a line to enter a club. Saturday, we visited Mount Bonnell. The weather was fantastic. Sunny, blue skies...typical Austin weather. Maddie did a little exploring while we were there. And to top off the weekend, we feasted on the greatest BBQ in Texas at the uncomparable Salt Lick. Great weekend! I was really sad to see them depart on Monday. We can't wait to return to the east coast! We have some many reasons to go back home. Of course, we'll continue to enjoy Austin to its fullest while we're here.
