Our First Texas Roadtrip

We took our first roadtrip in Texas this past weekend. TCU and UT were competing in the Super Regionals for college baseball so we headed to Austin as an early Father's Day present to Dave. I don't know who was more excited to go . . . Dave or Tyler. Tyler has already told us that wants to go to either UT or OU before he plays professional baseball for the Yankees. Our son definitely sets high expectations for himself!!! We had a great time and absolutely loved the town of Austin. As always the kids thought staying in a hotel was pretty exciting. We took lots of elevator rides. Saturday night we took a pedicab around downtown and saw the state capitol. We went out to breakfast at the Driskill Hotel Sunday morning. It's a 125 year old hotel that is absolutely beautiful. We then headed over to the stadium. As we got close to the stadium we couldn't see anything but a sea of orange. What an experience!!!!!! Our seats we front row on the first base side of the stadium. Emma thought it was too hot to sit in our seats and wanted to watch the game from the concession stands. She also told me it was too hot to take pictures so that's why you only see pictures of Tyler at the game. Dave and and Tyler thought the seats were perfect and loved being so close to the field. It was a close game but UT ended up getting beat. I thought Tyler handled the loss well. We can't wait to go back and visit Austin again!!!!!

  1. Sounds fun!! My kids love going to hotels too. We just got back from a trip and there favorite thing to do in a hotel is ride the elevator. So, we usually take them to the top a couple of times and let them ride down!
