Shaun's Mom Visits

What better way to welcome someone to Texas than a BBQ! Shaun's mom came to visit for a week and we had the grill fired up and ready to go. Shaun has always been a grill master but being surrounded by BBQ Masters has really inspired him, I think he can make a steak that is comparable to Rays the Steaks?!?!

We had a very full week but it was relaxing at the same time. We are experiencing a record breaking summer with so many consecutive days over a 100 degrees so there were many of afternoons spent poolside.



Our evenings were the perfect balance between nights in and nights out on the town. We enjoyed several home cooked meals but also visited the Salt Lick and Chuy's which are some of Austin's favorite restaurants. We also enjoyed bowling, the outlets, and several movie nights. I think the highlight of the trip though was the Bat Bridge! A unique Austin fact is that it is home to the largest bat colony in the Unites States. The summer is peak season to see the bats fly so we rented a boat and had a sunset dinner/cocktail cruise on Town Lake. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it for myself but when the bats fly it's actually extremely impressive. It's definitely a sight to see and something that should be on the must do list for any Austin visitors!
