Austin Weekends Are Good...

The Bugbees have been in town for the past 3 1/2 months.....which is really strange for our family. Before we had Brant we traveled (roadtrips, etc) at least every other weekend. Based on me not being able to travel at the end of my pregnancy, then having Brant early, then dealing with the NICU, and then bringing a newborn home....we have been quarantined here in Austin for awhile. :) I am quite sure that I have never been in Austin for more than a month at a time....so being here for this long has been quite interesting. :) We are REALLY getting to know the city that we live in...and we have been having fun doing it. :) It is easier for us to pack out our weekends with fun family time doing various things rather than all being stuck in the house....so that is what we has been our plan. :)

We had a lot of fun the weekend of April 30th once again. We tried a new Mexican restaurant in Cedar Park on Friday night-Los Reyes. It was a hole in the wall but we thought the food was really good. Especially the sangria margaritas! Nice. :) Braden loves mexican so he is always happy when we pick a place like that. :)

Saturday morning was his last day of swimming lessons for that session. To celebrate him being such a good swimmer we decided that we needed to head on over to Noble Pig and give their sandwiches a try. Yum again!! We really liked that place too! :) Later that afternoon, after a long nap for the whole family, we headed out to Zilker Park. It was time to catch a ride on the train. :) Braden was thrilled about the adventure...and Brant just slept. HA! :) We watched everyone swimming in Barton Springs for awhile. I think we decided we should have been in there with them as the water looked SO refreshing! :)

Then it was time for the train!The tickets were selling out like crazy. Guess everyone had the same idea for the day. :)
Braden is ready to go. :) I am too busy looking around to look at the camera Mom!
We went under some bridges......
And saw some pretty views......All aboard!! :) They even let Braden sit in the driver's seat at the end of the ride. He thought that was pretty cool! :)
After a fun train ride we decided it was time to hit up another new restuarant in South Austin......the South Austin Bar and Grill of course. :) We finished off our day with a nice meal there and then it was time to head home for baths and bed. :) Whew....exhausting. :) We sure have had fun checking out everything in Austin that we had not checked out until now. :) Nothing like being a tourist in your own city...love it. :)
