I did so many amazing things on my week long trip to Austin, Texas. Most importantly, I got to reconnect with a wonderful friend I met while in Australia, LeighAnna. She now calls Austin home, so of course I had to go visit! I saw the sights of Austin and also took a day trip to San Antonio. I think I got a good feel of the city of Austin. Good food, abundant drinks at interesting and wonderful bars, and many outdoor activities.
Because I am such a visual person, I will let the photos tell the story of my trip in chronological order.
