Hays Family Road Trip - Day Two in Austin

We kicked off day two in Austin with another excellent breakfast.  Kerbey Lane was sooooo good, that Magnolia Cafe had it's work cut out for it.

Although there was no queso on our eggs, everything was fantastic...


and so charmingly strange!  See that random pterodactyl skeleton hanging from the ceiling?!

After breakfast, we drove to Zilker Park.  It was a gorgeous day, full of sunshine.

After the girls played at the huge playground, we walked down to the water, near Barton Springs.

It was picture perfect!

We all took some time to enjoy the view...

and then walked down the river until we came to the Kayak hut.

Let's do this!

Lila, Cami and Jared hopped in their canoe first...

Then Jackson and I got in our kayak and caught up to them.

So far, so good!

Did I mention this was a pretty day?

We kayaked all the way past this bridge, around the honking geese...

and then back again.  Such an awesome way to see the city!

Our next stop was pretty cool, too. 
The top of Mt. Bonnell, where Jared proposed to me almost 17 years ago!  

My goodness, we sure have come a long ways since then. 
My heart was full being able to show our kids where our family began!


We made a pit-stop at the Oasis on our way out of town.  It was the perfect spot for a refreshing beveridge and snack.  

And one heckuva view! 
Our next stop was Kerrville, TX.  Stay tuned for lots of animal pics!
