travel, austin:

November 5, 2012


Found these photos in a folder on my computer and realized I never blogged about our trip to Austin! I am so bad about posting photos of trips. I think because it's so many photos to go through and so much to edit ;) Anyway. I hope you don't mind me posting this now. Don't be surprised if the photos from my Vietnam/China + England trip are posted next year, hehe :)









Gordough's - wow. It is a good thing I don't live in Austin or I think I would eat one of these every day. Thanks to Viv for bringing me one, what a sweetheart. Has anyone ever tried Gordough's? Austin locals - do you eat these every day or what?? 



Rudy's - we were quite impressed. We came here both days to eat. It was amazing.They serve you your food on some wax paper and in a tray.. Loved the banana pudding and cream corn. Kind of counting the days till we get to go back to Austin to eat here again!


Got to meet up with Vivian and meet her husband, Jon - which pretty much made us wish these 2 lived in California (or we live in Texas) so we could be near such quality company all the time ;)


Ate at Phil's with some friends from the show.


Did lots of thrifting - my favorite! :)




We stayed at the San Jose Hotel - it was really nice! Highly recommend this hotel. It's located right on the main street where all the shops and restaurants are. Loved all the little details of this hotel - if I owned a hotel, it'd definitely be like this hotel ;) I actually got the inspiration for our house from here - they had concrete floors and a big barn door to the bathroom, so cool.

20 hello's:

  1. You picked some of my favorite Austin places to showcase. Now I'm starving for bbq and mighty cone!

  3. Gordough"s -- the best! And they just opened a brick-and-mortar location on South Lamar. Only about a mile from my house (very close to the Phil's you also posted about). Thanks for your lovely post about my home town--it always makes me love Austin more when I see it through the eyes of a visitor.

  5. Gorgeous photos, Danni!
    And I feel ya about photos from trips. I still have photos from my Scotland trip I haven't posted because gathering, editing, and choosing gives me anxiety.

  17. 1) these photos of Austin are incredible! Maybe I missed it, but were there any photos from that fun standing rafting adventure you went on?
    2) I love the picture of the four of us! I also just love the poster behind us and how Jon and I look like walking picnic blankets. Yay plaid!
    3) More than anything, I'm so grateful that we got a chance to spend some quality time with the two of you and talk theology, birthday complexes and life. We love the Keiths and will drive out to Austin anytime (but would certainly be THRILLED to host you in Dallas! We'll make it worth your while!).
