Awesome Times in Austin!

Last weekend Jeannie and I went to Austin for our friend's Rachel and Dave's wedding.  It was a blast! Not only is Austin a cool town but we had so much fun celebrating the wedding.
Austin is known as the live music capital of the world and while we didn't get too much of a chance to partake in that you could see it everywhere.
Although we did catch a sweet 80's cover band at a bar.  Love it.
 Austin is also known for it's yummy BBQ, Tex Mex and Southern cooking.  We definitely hit that up! Also plenty of tasty drinks around so it was good that we had our special wedding koozies around to keep 'em cold.  Best.wedding.favor.ever.
 There is also the beautiful Colorado River is Austin - not to be confused with the one that runs through Colorado and California, thanks Allison!
 Austin is also the government state capitol.  It is made completely of granite and looks similar to the California state capitol.
 And while Austin is very different from the rest of Texas you can still see TEXAS written everrrrywhere in the state capitol building.  And it does appear that everything is bigger in Texas.
 Here we are with the gorgeous bride!  Seriously so pretty and such a fantastic wedding!  Can't stop talking about is a week later!
 Such a wonderful sissy to travel with.
And since the groom is in the military they did a sword arch for the bride and groom to pass under.  Jeannie and I made sure that the boys were in tip top shape and that they didn't start sword fighting with each other - a bigger task than one would think when an open bar is involved.
And what would one of my blog posts be without a food pic?  This was a de-licious eggs bene I had for brunch one morning.  It was served on a croissant with brie cheese.  Um, brie, croissant, hollandaise sauce...did I just die and go to heaven?  That or a heart attack.  An regrettably this is the only food photo I have.  I blame my lack on pictures due to the fact that there were many open bars at meals.  Lo siento!

All in all we had a blast in Austin and can't wait to go back!

Thank goodness it's baseball season!

This was my first Giant's game of the season and it feels good to be back at AT&T Park (arguably one of the best ball parks out there) with a beer in hand cheering on the Giant's! Yes the coldest baseball games happen here (sadly SF doesn't get summer until Sept) but with every seat having a view of the bay, I can deal with the chill factor. And yes I'm repping a Giant's mascot, Lou Seal, hat. Let's paint the town orange and black!!! ;)
