Browns Opener

Shaun's been counting down the days and it's finally arrived, the Brown's Season Opener!  We headed downtown to what we thought was the Browns Backer bar only to find out they moved.  We'll definitely miss the Ranch but this new place, Recess, has a good vibe and cheap beer so you can't really go wrong. They even have bleacher seats in front of their flat screens.  I think this is gonna be a good year for the Browns, or at least a good year for the Brown's Backers ;)

Mere Visits

Mere has definitely been a frequent flyer to Austin, but now she has yet another excuse to come to town.  One of her childhood friends moved here earlier this year so she decided to drop in for surprise visit for Lynne's Bday.  We all enjoyed a wonderful weekend celebrating, taking in Reckless Kelly at Shady Grove and Wine & Food Tasting at the Dripping Springs Festival.  Now we just need to get Meredith to move here permanently!

Dallas

We decided to take advantage of the holiday weekend and head up to Dallas to see Hank Williams Jr. perform.  There was a huge music festival at Billy Bob's and it sure was eventful!  We met up with Sarah & Lorenzo who showed us around town and kept us entertained the whole night.  Let's just say Shaun & Lorenzo befriended the next Bill Gates and schooled him in a game of pool.  You had to be there to take it all in but it definitely was a night to remember! 

UT Football

For the second year in a row, we made it to the UT home opener.  This is definitely a tradition I look forward to keeping up!

Blue Moon

A random night out at the Westside Ale House let us to a new discovery, I think there is truly a holiday to compliment ever beer ;)

Saxon Pub

Austin is filled with live music and amazing venues to take it all in!  We've been meaning to check out Saxon's Pub for ages and we finally got around to it to enjoy the Texas Tunes of Walt Wilkins.  It was a very fun chill night and we look forward to many more nights here in our future.

Vegas

Shaun never turns down a challenge, so when he discovered that Meredith had never been to Vegas before he made it his mission to get her there.  Like he really needs an excuse to go to Vegas but obviously he used this as his angle.  I'll give him credit though, he certainly made this trip a great introduction to Vegas!  He surprised us with a limo ride from the hotel and then we just enjoyed one glamorous meal & show after the next.  Meredith pull out the stops too surprising us with tickets to see Garth, hands down on of the best shows ever!!!
