My sister and her family moved to the Dallas area over the July 4th weekend. My brother in law, Morian got a new job there! My parents drove out with them to help with the long drive and the two cars and kids. They decided to come down to Austin for a short visit to see us!
Monday afternoon we went to Glenn's Mu Sool Won class, and then we went to dinner at The Salt Lick. It's not the original one in downtown Austin, but it's just north of where we were living.
We ordered turkey and sausage and brisket and all kinds of yummy food! We sure were filled.
The next day Glenn and I took my parents to Zilker Park. We went to the Barton Springs area where they also have a playground.
Just beyond the fence you can pay a few bucks to swim in the springs. Or you can go to the open area and dip your feet in for free. Sure it's not as nice and they let dogs play in it as well, so we wouldn't swim in it, but it was nice to get our feet wet and cool us off. Texas sure is hot in the summer!
Then we grabbed some lunch at some food trucks--also a popular Austin thing.
Dad, Glenn and I got some tacos from Mellizoz Tacos, and then all four of us also got a donut from Gourdough's. Yummy!
We made one last quick stop downtown before taking my parents to the airport--it really was a short visit! We took their picture at the famous "Greetings from Austin" postcard wall mural.
Thanks for coming to see us! We love you!!
