birthday weekend in Austin

Austin City Limits
a rOck'N time with Nathan celebrating the BIG 3-0!!
we had so much fun we have our tickets for the 2012 show already!!

we drove from Friona, with  just a few stops (antique stores of course..i can't keep Nathan away..OK maybe it is me) it took us about 10 hours. plus we took the "scenic" route in the hill country but due to severe drought it was dry.
pray for rain.

the entrance to the festival taken place at a HUGE park, Zilker Park.

sitting in the grass, having a beer and great live music.
we were lucky with sprinkles of rain drops, overcast weather and a new hat to control my frizzy hair due to humidity.
3 day music festival= lots of people watching

personally i am out of touch with any "cool" music. my play list, scratch that idea, i ONLY listen to kid music (usually the same song on repeat) or whatever comes through on my radio..lots of country or the occasional Bob Marley. 
THANKFULLY Nathan has not lost touch with the music scene, has our i-pod fully loaded and i feel a little more assured or "cooler" with my new found love of music that is from this decade.
some of my favs that stirred up my musical soul...
-cults
-cold war kids 
-sanitgold
-foster the people


this was just ONE of the many stages at the festival.


happy birthday to you!!


we munched on good eats.
 almost found on every corner.

celebrated at a fancy-schmancy restaurant.
peaches with basil and ice cream.
sounds crazy but the taste buds likey.
the other place we drove to..i wasn't about to bike in heels.


we even took a field trip to the Capital.
we had to..
we are Texans.




we had such a great time spending time together..
and i wore my new hat everyday!

best way to get around this city..biking. we only drove our car twice the 4 days we were in Austin, THIS GIRL needed to get her Nordstrom and Anthropologie fix. plus great exercise going up those hills and even better going down those hills. i have had my cruiser since college..o the memories!
we just strapped my bike to the top of the car and away we went.
until next time,
Austin.

like all good things they come to an end..
but we did find this delish BBQ place in Brady, Texas on our drive back up the Pan Handle.

i have never seen so many windmills in my life.
just outside of Sweetwater, Texas.

o Texas you are a BIG state.
