Today, we were tourists!

Today the whole family decided to go downtown to Austin.  It's been a while since we had done it. Austin also decided she wanted to decorate her new room in the new house in a City of Austin theme.  We took some pictures of her and Cadyn next to some Austin landmarks.  We started at the Nightwing.  Austin is known for the bats under the Congress Bridge, so we walked to the bridge as well!

Austin wanted me to get the Frost Bank Tower in the background because "it looks like ice."  Cadyn says that "Jack Frost could have built it."

We then drove down Congress to eat at Homeslice Pizza.  Before that though, we took some pictures by Jo's Coffee ("i love you so much") and the iconic Austin Motel (both sides).

Then it was finally time to eat at the yummiest pizza place!  Homeslice pizza!  The girls got to play with their own plate of pizza dough and we got 10% off of our meal because Cadyn catwalked down the restaurant!  She worked it!  Austin also told me that she was "happy we were in Austin."

Our next stop was the Capitol Building.  Cadyn wanted to play in the lawn in front of the Capitol until she decided that she wanted to go inside.  She didn't want to leave.  We will have to go back and spend more time (we didn't put enough money in the meter) because she loved looking at the paintings in the Senate and House of Representative rooms.  They both loved the ceiling and floors as well.

The last place we visited was Mt. Bonnell.  We could have stayed there forever!  I haven't been there in so long I forgot how serene it was-even with all of the people who were enjoying the beautiful weather.  Austin is an incredible place.

We had an amazing day and I can't wait to print and frame these in Austin's new room! If you know of any fun places or awesome decorations, let me know.

Cadyn is decorating her room in Eiffel Tower (hot pink, black and white).  She now wants to go take pictures in Paris!  Oui, oui!
