Amanda & Mike visit - again!

Mike found out he would be traveling for work to Austin for a couple days, so quickly arranged for her parents to watch Anna and Will and she tagged along with him for another quick visit sans kids. We covered a few different activities from when they were here two months ago. We enjoyed the beautiful mid-70s degree weather and walked around Lake Pflugerville, hung out on the back patio relaxing, rented bikes and rode around Lady Bird lake and downtown Austin. One of the evenings we arranged a sitter for Alli and had an adult night out and dinned at Stubb's BBQ and then hit a few stops on East 6th street. It was such a fun visit. The fact they made it back out to visit so soon was such a treat!

Dinner at our house Wednesday night














Renting bikes at Mellow Johnny's. They filmed a Michelob Ultra commercial right in front of our eyes with Lance Armstrong. They were so smooth, we didn't even realize when they filmed it! We saw all the equipment and lighting but must have blinked when it filmed!)














Backdrop of the Austin skyline














Along the lake. We saw turtles, ducks, squirrels and swans.



















After picking up Alli from preschool we took her to Nana's Treat House for some mint chocolate chip ice cream
