Mom makes it to Austin!

I apologize for my lack of blogging last week. I do sort-of have an excuse- my sweet momma was in town for some much-needed girl time! She has been to Austin before, but not for almost a year and a half, and had never even seen my current apartment. We had four action-packed days of fun- including lots of shopping, eating, desserts, wineries, festivals, and a little educational visit to the Capitol. Its hard to take a lot of pictures when there's only two of you, but we tried! I sure do miss her! :)

As soon as we got back from the airport, she had a no-bake cookie craving! Recipe coming soon...
My favorite King Cake arrived in her carry-on!
Delicious dinner at Wink- loving the polka dots!
My beautiful Mamma at the Kite Festival

Me trying to fly my butterfly kite

So many kites!
 
Wine tasting in Fredericksburg, TX- cerca 11:30am...
Becker Vineyards
Feeling good!
Enough said

Perfect end to the afternoon

Of course we managed to go on the day there was a big hooplah- Planned Parenthood protest
Mom and her friend Poornima
Last lunch at Nordstrom's Cafe- our fav!
 Phew. We were both so exhausted after this visit, but I had such a good time! Love you Mom! Next time I think we should squeeze in a visit to the spa... :)
