This was actually my fifth trip to Texas this year, but the first non-work related time, so lets celebrate, eh?
My amazing cousin Stephanie (who happens to be my same age, used to be my 'twin', and came to visit us two years ago) was tying the knot with her awesome fiance Andy in College Station, Texas a few weeks ago weekend. We were stoked to get to be there for their big day, and to catch up with my entire extended family.
There were lots of pre-wedding festivities, a beautiful ceremony, and a fantastic reception. I didn't take a lot of pictures, since I'm not one to pull out my camera in big crowds, but we had a great time celebrating with them, and really enjoyed getting to see everyone and spend time together. Steph & Andy are off relaxing in Belize now - we're just missing them on our way down.
And since the Sullivans just cant stand not to pack too much adventure into every trip, we took advantage of the fact that our flight wasnt until 8pm and made our way over to Austin Sunday morning after the wedding. It was a brief stop but we had some great food (breakfast at Annie's, lunch at Second), wandered all over Zilker Park, checked out the cute and funky SoCo strip, got totally thrwarted trying to score some famous Austin BBQ, and generally saw the sights. Austin didn't blow me away but we also really enjoyed everything we saw and ate there. I'm sure we didn't give it enough time to do it justice, so hope we'll be back some day.
