Jas goes to Texas

08/10/2009

A few days after we got back to Tennessee, we turned right around and went to Austin, Texas to visit my mom.
Texas is not quite like the rest of the United States ... and Austin is not quite like the rest of Texas!

Which is why I love Austin.
(No offense to the rest of TX)

For those of you who haven't been, here are a few of my favorites:

Cupcakes:
www.heycupcake.com
(2 locations in Austin)

Mexican food:
www.guerostacobar.com
(any Mexican food in TX is good food, really, but Guero's is one of the best!)

Any food:
www.centralmarket.com
(you can find anything and everything here, and oh how I wish there was one in Knoxville!)

Bats:
www.icebats.com
(Austin's very own hockey team; they're pretty good too)

(real bats!)

Summertime entertainment:
www.zilker.org
(free theater in the park!)

Suffice it to say that Austin is a fun town and an ideal place to vacation anytime of the year :)
