I was recently treated to an awesome girls weekend in Austin. My friend, Melinda, decided to take several of us on a trip for her 40th birthday. There were about 16 of us and we all stayed in the W hotel in Austin for 2 nights - Melinda's treat. So nice! I roomed with Maryam which was perfect since we don't get to spend a lot of time together, so it was nice to catch up. And our conversations are always interesting. We decided even bad things sound better when you put a "shma" in front - for example, shmamurder. Right?!? So, Lyndal drove myself, Shannon and Maryam to Austin - and traveling with other girls is nice, you can actually take your time, stop when you want to. We stopped for something sweet and made a stop at Bush's chicken where I got a gallon of tea...of course. We finally make it to Austin for drinks at the W, dinner at Taverna and dancing at the Speakeasy.
I'm sure you can see the progression of the night... I mean we were out until 3am!! There were some new dance moves introduced by Jana - Flashdance and 4th and 10. What a fun night!!
On Saturday we brunched, shopped, had spa treatments and then dinner. The dinner at Uchiko has to be one of my top 5 meals of all time - thanks Melinda.
We had to leave on Sunday (I definitely could have stayed another day or 5, ha!). But before we left, Melinda treated us to brunch at the W.
Such an incredible trip. Oh and I found this jewelers store that I wanted to visit, leighelena. I got a cuff bracelet and consider it my signature bracelet and a great reminder of a fabulous time.
