Day 4: Austin or Texas loves football


I should have known I couldn’t escape Texas without watching a little football. Lucky for me I was staying with a fellow FSU fan so at least I could watch a game that I cared about (well more than any other football game at least). So our morning was filled with Bloody Mary’s (maries?), Migas (I didn’t even suggest this but it was delicious again!), and college football.



After all that we took the dogs to Barton Springs, which is a cool park with some springs and lots of locals (and their pups) relaxing in the water. Max and Fee (my friend Robbie’s daschund) had a lot of fun swimming. It was nice to get outside and walk around the park and let Max run wild for a bit, sometimes I feel bad for keeping him cooped up in the car all day while we’re driving (although I guess he is pretty much just sleeps anyways so that’s not much of a change from his home life).

Feeling good about having our active part of the day out of the way we headed to a BBQ joint that also brews it’s own beers and happens to have a big patio so the dogs could join us for a couple pints before heading home to shower up and get ready for the night.


Apparently we left the house a little too late or too early because everywhere we tried to go for dinner had at least an hour wait, finally we ended up at a little tex mex place farther down the road from the busy strip of restaurants we intended on patronizing. But this place (I already forgot the name, oops) and a lot more calm than the other places which suited us just fine. We topped the night off with a few drinks at a cool little bar in what used to be a gas station with a few of Robbie’s friends.
