AROUND (Y)OUR TOWN: Austin, Tx (Shows, Shops and Stuff For Your Bellies)

AustinTrip

Hola! John Korey and I made it back from our anniversary trip to Austin just as Brandi and Jacob were taking off for Austin. Now I'm doing the whole catch up game before Houston Blogger Symposium this weekend. Any of you ladies going? We're stoked to meet everyone!

Austin was amazing. John Korey and I decided to stay away (or try to) from the things we normally do and thanks to Tate, Zane and Ashley, we found some neat places around town. We couldn't help revisiting a few of our Austin favorites too. 

Shows: Whip in This place was crazy, in the best way. Friday night we drove straight in to this joint to see Mayeux Broussard play. If you've never heard of them, check 'em out, they play often around the Austin area. We also caught Rosie Flores at White Horse. Incredible. 

Shops: Austin Vintage Guitars, Toy Joy, Bead it (surprisingly all the boys highly recommended this place), Big Bertha's, Buffalo (never been to the Austin location), Uncommon Objects (previously blogged), Stag (previously blogged), Bohemia, New Brohemia (previously blogged), Feathers Boutique (previously blogged), and Proto Type

JK and I wanted to shop for clothes, but we ended up leaving town with a fat stack of vinyl instead. Life's tough, ya know? haha...

Food + Drinks: Whip in, Spider House, Black Sheep, Red's Porch (OMG SO GOOD), White Horse, Takoba, Jo's for coffee and a breakfast taco... LOVE, Shangri-La, and Cheer Up Charlies

Overall, it was a badass trip. Thank you Tate, Zane, Taylor, Ashley and Tony for taking us around town, sharing your home and for the awesome feast on Sunday! We'll be back soon.

Adventures @ The Swimmin' Hole: Hamilton Pool

26 miles west of Austin, $10 parking, a .25 mile hike down hill and you have a little piece of heaven called Hamilton Pool...

Everything was a bit crunchy since rain has been a stranger to TX this year and I didn't know what to expect out of this swimmin' hole.

but all was at ease when we laid eyes on this little beautyIMG_7408
Sadly, I lost my key necklace and some earrings along the way, but it wasn't the worst thing that could have happened. At least it wasn't my boots!

Snacks are always a must! Wasabi Peas and Almonds are our swimmin 'go-to' munchies.

This place was just what we needed. Texas makes me proud.

Are you a fan of swimming holes or do you prefer a man made pool?
