Family Fun

We've been looking forward to this since Christmas!!! Sarah surprised Peter with a trip to Austin for XMas and we've been counting down the days until our family arrived. Now we just need to convince them to move here ;)


They arrived on Thursday just in time for 2nd Round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. We had a family pool this year so it was great to be able to watch together and have some friendly trash talk and family rivalry. And believe it or not Sarah and I ended up battling it out for first place in our family pool!

We've been lucky to have several visitors already so we have some of the ideal tourist spots mapped out; Salt Lick, 6th Street, Oasis, Lake Austin, the Capitol, etc. And we did hit them all but their trip was perfectly timed with the peek wildflower season so we decided to explore Hill Country to take in all of the gorgeous scenery and wineries they have to offer.




It was the perfect ending to the perfect trip! We started out with breakfast at Round Rock donuts and then ventured on to Hill Country where we discovered the Blue Bonet Cafe and their amazing pies! Then we hit up three wineries and got stamps in our new Texas Wine Passports. After a fun day exploring new territory we ended up at the Oasis for a sunset dinner and finally back to the game room at home for a Rockband Battle!
