We've spent the last two weekends bopping around Austin, showing Kathryn some of our favorite places and discovering some new spots as well. Last weekend we headed over to South Congress to show her the cute shops and restaurants. We stumbled upon this adorable chalk wall on the side of someone's garage. It says 'before I die...' and you can fill in whatever you want. Some of the answers were serious, like 'donate a kidney', and then there were the ones that weren't so serious like 'smoke weed with Snoop Dog'.
It says 'not gonna happen' hahaha. I have to admit, I'd be surprised if it did! You can't tell in the picture, but it was written in green chalk, so Peter suspects a Packer fan was behind it.
Peter was out of town this weekend, so it was just Ali, Kathryn and me. On Friday we decided to check out The Oasis, which is a big bar/restaurant and brewery (more like a compound) out on Lake Travis. Unfortunately, there was a two-hour wait for food and drinks so we just headed onto the balcony to take a few pictures while the sun was setting. There were some AMAZING houses to the right of the resturant. We definitely want to go back, but when it's a bit less crowded.
Since we still wanted to be by the lake, we headed over the Lucy's and had some dessert and drinks. We had a server who was quite entertaining. He told a few stories of his encounters with Farrah from Teen Mom at the restaurant (she lives close by) and hilariously left his Snapchat name on the bill. Is that a thing people do now? #youths.
On Saturday we headed to a food truck park for dinner, which was PACKED, and I took a risk and ordered fish tacos. I feel like ordering fish from a food truck is a universally bad idea, but they just sounded so good! Thankfully, they were delicious and I survived. Win-win.
In the evening, we headed up to the Domain, shopped a bit, and then ate at Culinary Dropout, a semi-new restaurant with lots of yard games and activities. It was really good, especially these pretzel bites with cheese fondue. We all agreed we'd go back for those alone! I picked Peter up from the airport after dinner and he was pretty jealous of our weekend food adventures.
