I was looking through our photos and realized I never posted anything about our trip to Austin last month. Jason had a Saturday conference down there, so Maya and I tagged along for the trip. We stayed at the Omni just off 6th Street, so we were in the middle of all the action, even though we couldn’t quite take advantage of it like we might have a few years ago! But we had a great time swimming in the rooftop pool. (Note to self: The Omni is a little less family-friendly and a little more bachelor-party friendly later in the day.) So we kept most of our pool time to the early parts of the day. While Jason was at his conference, Maya and I took long walks, checked out Town Lake and Lady Bird Johnson Park and did a little shopping. We also grabbed smoothies and walked to the Capital from our hotel. I thought Maya should start her life off as a good Texan.
But the highlight was definitely Friday night when our friend Joaquin was sweet enough to drive up from San Antonio to have dinner with the three of us. As always it was great to see him and so fun for him to meet Maya for the first time.
Hope we can get back to Austin again soon. It really is a city filled with energy.
