i <3 austin

this weekend we escaped houston and went to austin. it was fabuloussss! we got there late friday night, but josh and i still managed to make it to 4 bars before last call then went back to our hotel and swam in our heated pool til 4am. yesterday josh insisted on going to the zoo. so we did. it wasn't all that easy to find, in fact for a second i thought it may not exist anymore until we finally saw this sign:

i could tell this was a big budget place. we rode the train first thing.

josh really loved it.

we saw aliens.

were stocked by peacocks.

and made a new friend. i named him henry.
he was much sweeter than the picture would have you believe. he just didn't like having his picture taken.
after the zoo we hit the town. i put on my best hipster outfit and we took downtown austin by storm! we drank, we bar hopped and we danced our asses off. well, until our dance moves got us laughed at. we're white. deal with it. whatever. i still heart austin!
