Austin, Texas Nov. 3-7

We have returned from out first vacation as a family of 3 and it couldn't have been any better! We had so much fun and were blessed to travel with family who also loved spending time with Lucy. Our vacation was full of good food, site seeing, good food, a segway tour, good food, a beautiful wedding, and good food! (Do you notice a trend there?)

The reason for our trip to Texas was the wedding of Denny's cousin, Leslie and her new husband, Jason. The wedding was truly beautiful and in their "style!"

From her cowboy boots...

To her vintage jewlery...

Leslie was gorgeous!

The decor fit right with the theme.

And the food was truly "Austin."

Lucy loved her first Father/Daughter Dance!

During our stay we visited many places. One favorite was Zilker Park! It was a beautiful morning for a stroll through this park.

We also ATE a lot of great food! I think my favorite was the food from the local trailers. They are literally ALL over Austin and serve up some awesome grub!

This lot had both Torchy's Tacos and Cake Balls! (YUM!)

Another favorite from the trip was the Segway Tour through the city! Wow, what an experience. I would recommend this to anyone visiting a city. It is the perfect way to site see!

"OHIO" in front of the Texas Capital! HA

We also had some time to go inside the Capital!

It was quite impressive inside!

Lucy really enjoyed this vacation. She is the perfect age to travel and was a little trooper!

She enjoyed playing with her cousin, Gracie!

Spending time with Grandpa and Grandma!

And she slept on the flights, both ways! Buying her a seat made for wonderful, safe travels.

Wow! Great pictures and a great vacation! Lucy looks like the ultimate traveler...and the Texas onesies! (Did you make those?) I love the segway tour. I love the family pictures with the entire Ehrmin gang...what a good looking group! I loved playing "where's the baby" to find Lucy and Grace in the group shots. Beautiful babies! Thanks for sharing!

No! We got them from a local artist who makes adorable baby clothes! Gracie and Lucy were so cute in them :)

Looks like a wonderful trip! You did a great job in capturing the wedding and the Ehrmin fun. You didn't get any pictures of people falling off the segway but I do know some pretty funny stories. Now, onto the wedding in Pittsburgh. Whew.
