Austin Getaway!

It's been awhile since both mine and Chad's schedules have worked out that we're both free on the weekend, so when it finally happened we took advantage and drove to Austin. He had to work overnight on Friday so when he got home at 7 I drove the 3 hours there so he could get a little bit of sleep in. Saturday was really rainy so we didn't get many pictures in.

There's 2 outlet malls just south of Austin that we did some shopping at before going to our hotel to get ready for our night out! We went to see Matt Bearden at Cap City Comedy, which was a great time. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. After the show we went downtown to 6th Street to check out all the bars. SXSW was just getting geared up so it was really busy and people were everywhere. After spending a couple hours bar hopping (literally just door to door) we ended up dancing at some bar with an open roof in the rain before it got too heavy that required them closing the ceiling back up.

Started the night off right!

Chad got better pictures of this building, but I thought it looked like it belonged in Gotham City with Batman.

Sunday we woke up to a gorgeous day to make up for the previous wetness. We drove back downtown to check things out during the day.
