Weekend in Review: Memorial Day

For Memorial Day weekend some friends and I spent the weekend in Austin and at Lake Travis. Thursday night we headed downtown and went out on 6th Street. We even had Flaming Dr Peppers and worked in some dance moves!

Friday morning we started out with breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million and then toured the Texas campus (complete with some free champane!) and wandered around downtown before heading up to the lake. We went to visit the Capitol and everyone got to stand on the star and hear their voices echo. We also ate at Iron Works BBQ and enjoyed some coffee and desserts at Mozarts on Lake Austin.

On Saturday we took it easy in the morning and then hit the lake and boated around until some storms rolled in. A couple of people thought that they could do without sunscreen and definitely learned otherwise! ;)

Sunday we started out a little earlier than the day before to try to beat the crowds. We got in some water skiing, jet skiing, and wake boarding and then in rolled more storms... Check out the very grey sky in this picture!

We hung out on the boat and in the water waiting for the rain to pass over before getting back on the water skis. Once the storm cleared it was like we had the lake to ourselves! Matt and Melissa also came up to the lake and hung out with us on the boat and at the house afterwards. We played some speed scrabble and made the most amazing fajita dinner ever - which was super fun because it was a total team effort!

On Monday we cleaned up the house, packed up, and headed out. Definitely a fun weekend! And of course, left me missing Austin.
