Austin – Seattle

January 3, 2012 at 2:03 pm Leave a comment

One last lazy morning of cat-free sleep, quiet breakfast, and sunshine at the lake before we packed up and drove back to the big city.  There was a big wreck on one of the highways that delayed us a bit, but luckily we had a nice cushion as we had planned to hit the Food Truck trailer park once again in hopes that the others trucks were back in business.  Unfortunately just one truck was open but it provided a good taco snack to curb our appetite.

At the airport we had a brief scare when BK’s name didn’t pop up on the reservation list, but all was good and we had been upgraded to First Class for both flights – woo hoo!  Austin airport is really nice – we indulged in some Amy’s ice cream once again (grasshopper with Oreo this time) while BK started watching the Rose Bowl on his ipad.

Once we landed in Houston we found a really nice wine bar near our gate to watch the rest of the Rose Bowl at while sipping some fancy wine and enjoying a light dinner before the flight.  I was a little worried when a Duck sat down next to us but BK kept quiet ;-)

It was so nice to have First Class on the way home, especially with a late flight (thanks RR!).  Eventually we collapsed into bed, covered by cats.  Super fun trip to Texas and a great way to kick off the New Year!

Cities visited post-Olympics:

I have a theory that it is great to visit a city right after they host an Olympics because everything is new & upgraded, with improved mass transit. Here's the ones I've made it to so far: Barcelona - Atlanta - Sydney - Athens - Salt Lake - Vancouver

Kendra’s Black List

For their complete and utter lack of logic and customer service, you should avoid frequenting these businesses: Cafe Venus * Mesa Grill * Swoon * Tacos Guaymas (Greenlake location) * Trophy Cupcakes
