Weekend Dash to Austin, Texas

After a few chaotic weeks kicked off a very stressful September, I was beyond excited for our yearly "dating-versary" trip, it's cheesy, but for this pair of travel bugs, any excuse to see some place new, we'll take it. Austin surpassed our expectations far and beyond, the food, OH-MY, the FOOD, live music anywhere and everywhere, the people, non-stop street festivals, superb outdoor fun, and a much unexpected sweet rental upgrade.

Saturday, bright and early:

Breakfast @ Torchy's Taco. THUMBS WAY UP.

Green Chile Pork, the Democrat, the Independent. Glorious. 

This followed immediately after.

Son of a peach + Dirty Berry. 

Blinky chinky eyes ;P

Wandered to 6th Street Pecan Festival, this drink stand, so very Texas.

SO refreshing. 

Merry-go-round, the real thing.

Korean fusion deliciousness @ Koriente

Sunday, brighter, and earlier:

FRANKLIN BBQ, 7AM, 27th and 28th in line, 4 hours till opening, excitement level is HIGH, husband was literally jittery.

That oak charr. 

Stickers never lie.

4 and a half hours to see these sweet faces. 

Inhaled these in 20 minutes. and that white pouch, lived the best bourbon banana tart, ever. 

handmade taro + strawberry passionfruit mochi icecream to polish off the BBQ, naturally. 

South Congress Ave

Polished off the weekend fun with some damn good pizza. 

Happiest 5!
