Austin

 For fall break we took a quick trip down to explore Austin.  We had no plans other than a place to stay and flights.  

 The first day we found ourselves at a science children's museum which was really incredible. 

 Its hard to find things that work for the different ages, but this museum was fun for all.

 I'd heard that Austin had really good food and we found this to be very true.  We found a burger place the first night.

 The second day we went to a huge park that has Barton Springs in it.  We went on a train ride, played at the playground and then Landon and Brian braved the 69 degree water and jumped into the springs!

 Blane officially mastered going up stairs in our town home.

 On the plane ride down, the woman sitting next to me told me about Big Top Candy Shop.  We had to check it out.  3500 different types of candy!

 Including candy cigarettes which I had to introduce my kids to (we talked about real cigarettes and the harm they do, but these were fun!)

 And like all tourists, we had to have our family photo taken in front of this famous sign.

It was 92 degrees with  lots of humidity!
