Austin is truly a dog lover and runner’s paradise and all I
would ever need to wear would be yoga pants all day and everyday and I would
fit right in. Ah, a gym rats heaven! We had the pleasure of a little weekend
getaway to Austin last weekend to see the hip side of what Texas has to offer
and offer up they did; good food, great weather and a very clean and friendly
place to visit.
Did I mention the dog friendly? We checked into the Omni in
downtown Austin and upon checking into the room they had Miss Ethel set up with
bowls, treats, toys, a list of dog parks and a fabulous list of pet friendly restaurants
for us all to dine at. Oh and the crème de le crème, they had a room service
menu just for dogs! Love the Omni!
We spent the weekend eating, walking, eating and eating! We received
quite a few suggestions on things to do, but most of the time we spent walking
the city, enjoying the parks and the running trails along the river. Why? Because we
have a fur daughter, who likes to be in bed early, especially after a long day
of walking and/or being carried, mostly carried; so 6th street not
in the cards for us plus I’m old and if I make it past ten these days I think
it is a huge accomplishment and deserves a happy dance! Even though we didn’t
get to experience the wild side of Austin, it was still a great time and a city
that we could totally live in, other than Tom is officially allergic to Texas
and is currently addicted to Benadryl!
Sounds like you three are finding a lot to do and having fun. Sorry Tom is allergic to Austin. Poor baby. Man allergies, no fun. :) Thanks again for the Elf trip. I am having fun putting them in files by month and such. I enjoy revisiting them each time I put a new one in the files. Hugs and Love to you all.
