Quick Morning Post

I posted this earlier on instgram

So what's up? I'm in Austin, Texas (in case you missed the greeting) lol


It was a late night, but I still got up for the morning walk/run/crawl. I will get back in outstanding shape, again, damn it. I will.

My hotel. Yes, we could stay with friends, but I don't like to impose. I'm shy like that..

Early morning walk about before the sun gets too bad

Traffic on IH 35

Next door

Popped in to purchase a bottle o'water & was surprised at how many salads they had...

Another windmill shot

Yucca

So after approx 2 miles I returned to the hotel. Most of the walk was through neighborhoods, didn't want to be stalker-like taking photos of houses, lol. So no other pictures. :X 


Anyway I cleaned up & went for the free breakfast buffet. I Was expecting a crowd of people; but the place was empty. Which was super nice, lol. I wasn't that hungry but did get a cup of coffee and some fruit for later. #win

See? Empty!

Sit anywhere & no screaming children~

They had eggs, waffles, bacon, sweet rolls, yogurt, cereal, etc.

Did I tell you how much I love this hotel? This was such a great Groupon deal! Austin is close enough I can drive up, shop or go out to eat and drive back home. No big deal. But since this deal was for a suite for less than a regular hotel rate I just couldn't pass it up!  Oh & free breakfast everyday too. Even if I just have coffee and a cup of yogurt it's that much less I don't have to purchase elsewhere, you know? Savings is savings...

They had juice too. But the coffee smelled soo good. :) 
Next I'm headed to the pool.

Few from 3rd floor :D

The rest of the day is reserved for some quality shopping & exploring. There are some great old venues I want to revisit and some new places people have told me I just gotta see. :D
I love Austin. I really do. I have lived here, moved away and moved back again more than any other city I have ever lived in. It's like no where else in Texas & if you love live music it's the only place to be. Rock, Soul, Rap, Country, Gospel, Punk, Indie it's all here. 
Ok- off to the pool now.
Catch you later-
