Best.Weekend.EVER.

We had so much fun this weekend. My parents came into town and we just cruised around Austin hitting up all the fun spots. We started it off by eating at one of the many food places showcased on TV travel shows- Torchy's Tacos. It did not disappoint. It was delicious. I had The Democrat and The Independent. I'm not political at all-they just sounded awesome and they were!

Our yummy food from Torchy's

 Next, after we were about to pop from all the yummy food, we headed over to Peter Pan Mini-Golf. It's this cute little mini-golf place tucked into a corner of a busy road with brightly painted ceramic animals beckoning you to come try out your putting skills. I did horrible. Heath did okay. My dad acted like it was the final hole of a PGA tour tournament the whole time.....and came in second. That's right, my mom got first place thanks to her 2 hole-in-ones!!

Me next to one of the putting green statues. It's an odd picture, but it's the only one I had so it gets published :)

After all that fun we headed over to one of many Austin's food trailer parks for a little treat. Arrested Development is one of our favorite shows and some girls who are also huge fans opened a banana stand in it's honor. So Heath finally got his chocolate dipped frozen banana with nuts!

To finish off the weekend we met my brother at our favorite movie theater- Alamo Drafthouse- for The Ultimate Willy Wonka watching party!! We got to quote and sing along to the movie, eat corresponding candy, blow bubbles during the Fizzy Lifting scene, throw streamers when Veruca Salt throws her fit in the golden egg room, and pull a popper firework when the elevator broke through the glass ceiling! Then afterwards we got signed posters and met two of the original cast members who played Veruca Salt and Mike TeeVee. It was AWESOME! This is why we love living here. There's always something fun going on.

So thanks for a great weekend mom and dad!
