Austin, TX

I had such a good time in Austin! Live music and BBQ every day. A few too many Shiner Bocks. Two-stepping. And a fire pit or two.

Beer in the fridge at Lone Star Court!

One of the fire pits right outside of my hotel room.

I took the photo after eating my ribs... Just couldn't wait. 

Made a trip out to Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Walked up to the Texas State Capitol building in downtown Austin.

Saw Dierks Bentley and Kacey Musgraves perform (after witnessing Matthew MacConnaughey auction stuff) at ACL.

Headed over to Zilker Park Botanical Garden and got lost in a beautiful place :)

Spent a lot of time in the South Congress area just waking around and drinking iced turbos from Jo's. I also spent a couple hours hanging out on the Congress bridge to see the millions of bats fly out at dusk. That was cool. Lots of people had blankets and just chilled in the park waiting for the bats. Others, like me, stood on the bridge. Still others paddled in the Colorado River on kayaks or in boats. 

One of the highlights was going to the Broken Spoke to hear Dale Watson (pictured above) play. I two-stepped with a nice gentleman from Midland, TX all night and had a great time.

The man from Midland recommended I go to Gruene Hall so that's what I did the next day. I saw another band play and had a cold Dos Equis. That place is like a chicken coop. Very cool vibe and I will be back!
