Ahhh… Austin, you are one of my favorite places on earth. 

My weekend adventure started on Friday afternoon with a quick flight from Albuquerque to Austin to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, and ended Sunday afternoon. 

While traveling with a group of women can feel like trying to wrangle an octopus into a small mesh bag, we were able to absorb so much food and culture and live music in such a short period of time!

After some Homeslice Pizza (yum!), we found an amazing band at the iconic Continental Club and danced the night away.

Saturday daytime brought relaxation at the Barton Springs Pool, a three-acre pool fed from underground springs where Robert Redford learned to swim.

Our evening began with drinks at a Midnight Cowboy, a hip Speakeasy in a former brothel. You can only enter with a reservation and special code, so make sure to reserve early! 

A jaunt down Rainey Street with fun bars in old houses led us to 6^th Street and more music, DJs,and spectacle!  

Sunday morning, we ate a delicious breakfast at Enoteca Vespaio (note: get the Polenta, you will thank me) and it was time to bid adieu to my beloved city. 

As Mark Stuart sings in “Austin Night” with The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, "I lost my heart in the heat of an Austin night."

I most definitely left part of my Heart in Texas.

Until the next adventure...
