Austin Visit

Over the weekend of Jan 25-27- Sarah, Jenn and I flew to visit Joni in Austin! We all agreed months ago to sign up the 3M Half Marathon, but really we all just wanted a reason to get together! We had a great weekend and even enjoyed the Half Marathon(my first!) Joni was a great host, and it was so nice to see her new place!

On Saturday before the race, ahem event, we took a spin around Austin.
This was our first stop- the famed Whole Foods flagship store... you may ask yourself- "self, why is the picture so blurry? Shouldn't this be of the huge bakery counter and candy counter?" Well, yes, except that if you pull out a camera in said store you get accosted by a lovely employee who sas- "nooooo, no pictures!!" so- here you have the one photo I snagged as I was getting "yelled" at! Anyhow, it is AMAZING- my grocery store heaven actually!


Then we headed to lunch, and finally to Amys! The ice cream is tasty and the performance of flipping the scoops is very cool- I highly recommend Amys


And it woulddn't have been a trip to Austin without seeing a vehicle like this... AWEsome- love the horns-

Austin 3M Half Marathon Day

Here is Joni, me and Jenn pre-race! we look pretty smiley for 6am!
And this is us post race- everyone did great!
More importantly, this is us at Chuys later that night enjoying some nice frosty beverages (virgin for Sarah :) )
And the carnage after a well-deserved post race dinner! So tasty, I can see why Lance comes here to blow his diet!
