Texas Tour: Austin

January 2017

We had some time in January, so we decided to visit the state capital of Austin. One of our first stops was try to get some lunch at a famous BBQ place. Though it had been open for 5 mintues the wait was already 2 hours. Apprently people line up hours before it opens! We did have lunch at a place our friends reccommended and had some delicous pancakes. Afterwards, we went to this graffeti park. It had once been a condo develpoment, but it never was completed and was turned into a place for graffetti art. It was really cool! I will see these artist did need some help with cleaning as there were spray paint cans all over the place.

We next took a tour of the captial buidling. It was really fun to see all the rich history the building had from the art work to the original seats for congress. The building was also everything Texas. The chandliers spelled out Texas, and the lone star was found all over the place. I think that Texas is really the only state that has so much state pride. It was a fun day trip. As tradition now with road trips we listened to a book. We continued to listen to Alcatraz and the Evil Librainis. (We love these books!)
