I am back Reader’s!
My trip to Austin, Texas was wonderful! What a wonderful city and a WONDERFUL group of strong, independent, fun ladies I got to hang out with for three days.
We stayed at the downtown W in Austin. It was a very nice hotel and almost everyone there was super nice. I had a room with two double beds that was pretty big and the bathroom was great too. We spent Friday afternoon out by the pool where we did a lot of shop talk, had some food, drinks and big laughs.
On Thursday night we had drinks and food at the W’s outside lounge area. Once again, great Shop Talk, getting to know each other and laughs were had. We then walked to the a bridge at dusk to se THOUSANDS of bats wake up and fly out to start their day. It was amazing!
Our hotel was right next door to where they host Austin City Limits and record the show. My man and I hope to see a show there one day.
I was able to find a place to get my daily juice/smoothie. It was right by the hotel and is called the Daily Juice. They had so many fruits and veggies in that place! I had a really hard time choosing. The first day I went totally green and bought one that had kale, cucumber, parsley and celery to name few veggies.
On Friday morning I went for a smoothie that had blueberries, strawberries and peanut butter among other yummy things. It was really good. I hadn’t thought to add peanut butter to a fruit/veggie smoothie before.
We ate at some great restaurants for lunch and dinner. At dinner we had two different signature cocktails made for us. Both were very good.
The food was soo good. Judi (head gal) did a wonderful job picking the restaurants (with the help of her hubby Theo) and the tasting menus.
Our class field trip was to the Zilker Botanic Gardens where we had a guided tour. It was a beautiful garden and they even had fairy houses!
Overall it was a wonderful trip that I feel lucky to have gone on. I learned a lot, saw some cool things, ate some yummy food and most importantly met some great ladies!!
