Austin Road Trip

In celebration of Bailey's 21st birthday (and the fact that we're almost done with this semester!) we drove to Austin for the night.First we stopped at the original Chuy's on Barton Springs Road, right in view of the lovely downtown for some yummy Tex Mex. We were super excited about our amazing parking spot right at the entrance, and their amazing service. (Our waiter, Chris R. took this for us!)
After that we drove to the state capitol. Katie was cracking us up while driving because even with the GPS, she was "soooo uncomfortable" driving on wet, one-way roads trying to find a parking place. We all pulled out our umbrellas and started our jaunt around the castle-like building.

We were taking this picture below when we realized the capitol was open for visitors.

So we just walked in: the security office was waving at us from the end of the hall as we took this, he probably thought we were so strange.


Bailey being a lover of Texas history, was so excited to just roam the building - we were pretty much the only ones there too - it was pretty cool!


As we were leaving and snapped this shot in the rain and couldn't help but say,"This is by far one of the best Fridays I've ever had in college!" What a great mini-road trip with friends!
