Austin!

This weekend I headed down South for my very first trip to Austin, TX! I cannot believe I have lived in Texas for almost two and a half years and this was my first Texas adventure. I absolutely loved the city and had a divine time. While I of course loved the city itself we actually went down to Austin to "float" the river with Cotillion Club. It was perfect to do the city this way for the first time because most of our meals were planned, there were evening activities, loads of friends and of course a wonderful three hours outside! Friday evening we had dinner downtown and then club activities on 6th Street. Yesterday morning we got up early so that we could have breakfast at Austin Java (YUM!) before heading to the river. Now, I am not the most outdoorsy girl, but I had fun inter tubing and catching some rays yesterday afternoon. After our river trip we headed back downtown to our hotel pool and then out to the lake for dinner at Hula Hut. It was beautiful to be able to watch the sun set over the lake while enjoying Mexican food (my favorite)!
This morning we got up and headed to San Marcos. I have been wanting to go to San Marcos for almost two years and these outlets did not let down. I was sad Tory Burch was not yet open, but that only means a return trip is in order sometime this fall! All of us stocked up at J Crew and wandered Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn for almost an hour. I ended up with a blue and white (I am sure you are all shocked!) salad serving set and a waffle maker (I FINALLY bought one!). Afterwards we hit up an old pharmacy that serves delicious hamburgers and shakes then it was back to Dallas. It was s splendid weekend and I am already excited to head back down to Austin for a UT game this fall!!
