Aside from the occasional Texas thunderstorm, the weather here has entirely convinced me that Austin is right for me. February was fickle, but March is settling in to all spring, all the time.
Everyone from Austin has a bad case of Longhorn fever...and you can't go for more than a mile without seeing burnt orange. Hookem' Horns!
Austin is home to the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum, complete with anamatronic, joke-telling LBJ! I went to the museum with my long-time internet friend
Elisabeth. We also celebrated Galentine's Day in honor of Leslie Knope, complete with waffles and whipped cream. Sadly, Lady Bird was unable to make it.
On Presidents' Day, I went out to the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory with my new friends Holly and
Sara. It's liked I lived the Mr. Rogers episode where they toured the Crayola Crayon factory, except we got ice cream to eat at the end instead of orange crayons.
Driving home from the factory, we noticed a sign for Memory Lane. "Memory Lane?" I said, "As in, let's take a trip down..." Holly immediately pulled the car around so we could definitively say that we've taken a trip down Memory Lane. WORTH IT. (You guys...I kinda hate to break this to you, but Memory Lane is a dead end. How defeating is that?)
Here's something inspirational for your Thursday. (Spotted underneath the South Congress Bridge.) Now that I'm gainfully employed once more, I can feel good about saying that tomorrow is Friday, which means that the next day is Saturday and therefore, the weekend. Hooray!

The episode where they learn how crayons are made is my favorite episode of Mr. Rogers.
Mmmm... Blue Bell. I remember it was such a big deal when they started selling it in Arizona. My husband's family is from Texas and they are obsessed.
Yaaaay for a new job!!!
I've never been to Austin (not really, as an adult, that is), but I hear it's amazing, and I am SO glad that you are enjoying it!
Fabulous photos!! TX looks wonderful!!
