What a crazy busy weekend! It's Tuesday and I am still trying to adjust thinking Friday must be near because I'm so tired! I always hear everyone say how nice Austin is so I just had to check it out for myself! We drove up Saturday morning and I have to say the critics are correct! Austin with its rolling hills is just beautiful! It reminded me so much of California the way the houses are built in the hills. With this view I could absolutely live here! It's just amazing this is actually in the great state of Texas! I felt like I had left the state just for a moment. Congress street is pretty neat too. It has all kinds of little shops and eateries. Austin is very eclectic, artsy and bohemian all rolled into one. Before I left the city I stopped by a Zen Garden and could have stayed there forever. How peaceful to hear the quiet of the babbling fountains and the sounds of the giant wind chimes. I definitely will be back!On Sunday we took the kids to the Ringling Brothers Circus. They had a great time! For some reason I don't think it was as spectacular as the circus I saw in the 70's. Maybe it is just my recollection as a kid that made it seem larger. I guess the world is a larger and more spectacular place when you are small. The kids got to meet this Asian elephant, she is the matriarch of the elephants at a ripe old age of 39. Hmmmmm we were both children of the 60's!
