Okay.  I have to admit that I have a new obsession.  Okay, two.  Fifty Shades of Grey is my first one.  And Austin, TX is my next one.
We are planning on relocating this perfect gem of a city, and I can't say enough good things about this town.  They have food trucks galore, a super dog-friendly city (your dogs can pretty much go wherever you do), free live music, super nice people, doughnuts as big as your head, I have pictures of most of all of this, but since it is the capital of Austin, I will start with your generic pictures of the capital building, and then go from there in future posts!  I mean, I can't give it all away in one post!!
We walked all the way from South Congress to the Capitol building,  (okay, I have to admit that I'm slightly confused on my use of capital and Capitol, so excuse me English majors if I'm totally butchering it here) which was about five miles...

| Though this was funny.  We passed this on our way back to the food trucks.   | 
  | 
| Very liberal city, but I just liked the old timey feeling of the hotel.  They had these old hotels everywhere! |

| Capital building. |

| Inside.  This is one of my favorite pictures. |

| Hello President Bush!! |

There'll be more pictures from this past weekend, but wanted to start with these before seriously delving into Austin.  Because I could seriously go on forever.
And I just found a recipe for potato chip cookies...so be on the lookout for that this weekend.  Because I'm totally making them.
