We ended the day trip and did our celebrating at La Condesa. Gosh oh gosh. That food was yum. We debated between that place or Uchiko, but since we aren’t so fond of the Mexican food options in the L.A. area, we went with Tex-Mex over sushi. We indulged in ceviche, fish, and maybe I had a little bit of fun with my margarita! And their beet cake… oh yeah, definitely trying to recreate that at home. That was the best dish to end the celebration dinner.
It’s so strange to be without the girls for a full day, but it was a much needed break and good time to reconnect and just laugh and chillax with Ben. I may or may not have tried to get fresh with him all day long, but seriously, I just couldn’t resist. I think that boy is pretty darn hot. Like real hot. And before I make you gag with all this lovey dovey stuff, don’t worry, we really do have spats too. We get on each other’s nerves just like any other couple. That’s what makes the choice of staying together and working on our marriage even more meaningful. We both choose to be here despite our ugly sides… and boy do we have them!
All in all, the day was just grand. We came home to girls already sleeping in bed, a box full of cupcakes, Grandmama and Auntia with loads of funny stories about the girls, and a bit more rejuvenated from just having some time off to focus on each other. We pretty much love Austin and will make sure to take another day trip when we come back to San Antonio for Christmas!

Its so funny to read your blog and see stuff I drive by everyday here in Austin. I love Uncommon Objects! And I suppose you went to New Brohemia too by the looks of it….Glad you had fun!
I am so ecstatic you went to Hey Cupcake! They are drool worthy right? Also La Condesa???? That is my husband and mine's favorite anniversary restaurant. So glad you were in Austin and had a great time! Come back soon 🙂
I love your shoes! They're on sale now, but how comfortable are they? I have two pairs of Swedish Hasbeens I never wear because they are too stiff and heavy to walk around in.
