Austin, TX

Doug's cousin and his wife took our kids for a couple of days and we were able to go to Austin, TX...Doug had a conference there and I wanted to go and spend time with him....I LOVED Austin...it was a really great city!

Look what was parked in front of our hotel....Doug took this picture because he was making fun of me....on our way back to our hotel one night I saw a fire station and wanted to stop to see if they had a patch...Evan has been collecting fire station patches ever since going to my brother's station in Virginia....so, the firemen gave me a patch for Evan (he had to take it off his shirt...wasn't that so nice of him???)....you can see it in my right hand...Doug could not stop laughing that I had talked one of the fireman to slide down the pole for us....
I made Doug walk about 2.5 miles to this little cupcake place....I just loved how it was in a trailer....we had pizza at this amazing pizza place called Home Slice Pizza (thanks Jen!)

Doug's favorite part of the night.....the frosty's

It was so nice to spend some time with this cute boy....It felt like the old days....I can't wait for more trips together!

That is so fun that you got to take a trip together! My parents have been doing that for a long time. My mom goes with my dad whenever she can. I think it is great! By the way you look hot in your yellow pants!!

I didn't know Evan collected patches that's so cute! So if I ever go by a fire station I'll have to get one too. P.S. I love your outfit in that picture.
