Friday Night Lights

In Texas, Friday nights are usually reserved for High School Football but it's off-season so we've reserved them for Double Dates. Have we mentioned how fun it is to have Sara and Eric as neighbors!

For our first adventure, we followed the Friday Night Lights theme but instead of lights on the field it was lights of the big screen, we went to see Country Strong on Opening Night. We bought tickets the day before expecting a full house but we've come to learn that nothing in Texas is quite as crowded as it was in Virginia.

The following week we had Uncle Bud in town to babysit so we weren't constrained by a curfew. We decided to go all out and have a night out on the town. We started with dinner at La Condesa and then moved on to our newest favorite establishment, the Ranch. We enjoyed wine by the cactus fireside while taking in all the people and animal watching, they have a ton of game covering their walls! Then of course we decided that we needed to check out some of the bars owned by the Bachelor, in secret hopes we'd run into him, and made the quick walk across the street to Dogwood. After a few games of ring toss we started moving our way down 6th St. We discovered a great Irish Pub that is true to it's roots and only serves Irish Whiskey or Irish Beer, nothing else so we kept moving further down 6th to the Historic Maggie Mae's. We made the most of our night out and are enjoying discovering all that Austin has to offer!
