austin, tx

We had a great long weekend in Austin!! Started off Thursday by flying out of Birmingham. It's been a very long time since I flew with Southwest, but all of our flights (4) were easy in and outs! Tripp was a perfect little flier!! He loved looking out the window and trying to climb over the seat backs. He did take long naps on two of the flights which was very nice!!

We had fun walking around downtown Austin, enjoyed some good Texas BBQ and drove around the UT campus. It's right in the middle of downtown. Friday night we took a short trip to Round Rock, Texas to the Dell Diamond, where Lee's cousin works for the Round Rock Express (Houston Astro's minor league team). They hosted the after-rehearsal dinner there with a true Mexican Fiesta. The food was very authentic and very good!! Tripp enjoyed playing around the playground and playing his cousin Sam!

Saturday afternoon we drove just outside of Austin to this little country church for the wedding. It was beautiful and the wedding was very nice, complete with a gospel choir! The reception was a lot of fun. Tripp loved dancing with the band!

We had a great time catching up with family that we haven't seen in a while. I hope it won't be too long before we see everyone again! I have to say that I have the best little traveler! Tripp really does a great job when we travel. He wasn't fussy and we didn't have any major meltdowns! He just keeps up right along with everyone else, not missing a beat. We are very fortunate to be so lucky! He's now 17 months (today!) and has visited 6 states! Here's just a few more pictures from the flight home!

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!
