Austin Mini Summer Vacation :)

On the way to Austin... Goosey wanted to paint her nails orange for the Longhorns. :)

Arrived!  First stop... UT!

Next stop... Lake Travis - Mud Cove

On the way back we saw a deer.  I have NEVER before seen a deer in the wild. 

Goosey named it Sandy. :)

Hotel living...

Visit to Barton Springs

Andi and Miguel on the diving board...

Barton Springs is located in Zilker Park which has a train ride and play area.  Such good, cheap fun for the family!  If you are ever in Austin, this is a great place to visit.

Texas History Museum - GREAT place for kid and for adults like me who think museums are boring. :)  Very interactive!  We saw a interactive movie where your seats moved and there was wind, it was awesome.

Below: The first thing we did was see their Texas Star show.  It was great!  The seats moved, there was wind and lots of special effects in the theater.

I like that music players from the 80's and 90's are now in a museum... lol

Out to dinner... We tried to save money so we only went out to dinner once. They had a stage and the littles were dancing.  

It was a good time.

Below: I needed to take a pics of this McDonald's...

Only in Texas is a Longhorn part of the McDonald's lawn decore... lol

Texas State Capital Visitors Center...



Then we walked to the actual Capital Building for the tour...

Below: This is where I sang on a choir trip to Texas when I was 16.  Almost 20 years ago. :)

 This was a great mini vacation for the Hill family.  As we left we ran in to a pretty big storm which made for some SLOW driving and cool pics. :)
