Austin City Limits

We checked in to the Marriott when we got to Austin and the boys took a little nap while I got ready to go out ;)
After I finally got them out of bed we made our way downtown. We stopped by Doc's in SoCo for a mimosa (me) and beer (them). We had fun exploring 6th street especially since Chandler and I had not spent too much time there the weekend before. Sixth Street pretty much consists of rooftop bars, good restaurants, dance clubs and tattoo parlors. We posted ourselves up at the Iron Cactus for a margarita and queso and then decided not to wait the hour and a half to get an official table so we continued our exploration.




The most exiting part of the night was when we found Austin City Limits. We noticed part of the street was blocked off and we could tell there was a band playing. We went to check out the scene and we were a bit disappointed that it was just the Steve Miller Band on a flat screen above the streets. It took us a minute to realize we were at the new downtown location of Austin City Limits and that the band was just in the building behind us! We walked up to the second floor and the ticket takers no longer were checking tickets (because it was late in the show) so we marched ourselves right in! We danced to a couple of songs including "Rockin' Me." It was such a cool experience seeing the whole set up and watching the crew film it live as people were watching us on tv!!



We finally made it to Hopdoddy for a Janis Joplin and a Chocolate milkshake at about 11pm then headed back to the hotel. Austin has really shown us a great time and we continue to love the city more and more :)
