Dead Dog

My poor shoes. I found the chewed one in the backyard. :/ I was not happy.

Too Cute

Look at this cutie! I tried to take pictures of Duke, but he wouldn't stop barking. Rude!

SPI

Mike and I headed down to South Padre Island last weekend. We had planned on staying a week and spending the holiday there, but hurricane Alex cut our trip short.

I went down a few days early to spend time with my family and Mike joined me on Saturday. We headed down to the island to stay at my dad's place. Thanks, Dad!

Sunday we went fishing in the bay with my dad. We didn't catch anything and had to end up coming back early because the boat was taking on water. Scary!

Monday was spent lounging on the beach and allowing Shah to swim in the ocean for the first time. He loved it! We ended up coming back on Tuesday because of the weather, but had a great time anyways.

Our last night there. We got a drink at Pirate's Landing.

Cabo

Mike and I are back from Cabo. Our vacation can be summed up in a few words: beach, pool, margaritas, guacamole, repeat. Needless to say it was wonderful!

We spent our few days there relaxing on the beach, sipping margaritas, and reading. Cabo is beautiful! We didn't do much exploring, but if we had been there longer, I know we would have.

We stayed at Cabo Azul Resort. I would highly recommend it! It was our first time not doing the all-inclusive thing, but we really enjoyed it! Since we had a full kitchen, it made eating much easier and more economical.

Here we are on our last night enjoying drinks in the tower at the Crowne Plaza. It had a great view!

Mountains surrounding the beach.

Our hotel was a one bedroom with full kitchen, that I am pretty sure was bigger than our first apartment.

We were sad to leave, but we are looking forward to our other summer trips. Next up: McAllen/South Padre!

Birthday Pizza

Alison, Melissa, and Jason came over last night for birthday pizza. GIANT PIZZA! It was 30 inches! And delicious!

Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday! Mike and I started out by spending the night at The Crossings, a spa here in Austin. We spent time by the pool, hiked, and enjoyed being out of the city. I got a massage and just enjoyed the day.

We had dinner at Zoot and then met up with friends for drinks. All in all, it was a wonderful day!

Lake Austin

Mike and I love to go to the lake. We are members of a boat club, and one of our favorite things to do is head out to Lake Austin. It is gorgeous and relaxing. During the summer we spend as much time as possible out there. We are excited that summer is here!
