Bachelorette Partay

 Well, it wasn't really a party.  More of a one day trip.  Me and my friends drove down to Austin, TX for a friends Bachelorette.  It was just four of us, but I think that's what made it so much fun.  The drive to Austin was just loads of singing and dancing and yelling at 6 in the morning.

The first place we went to see was THE CAPITAL.  We parked out front on meter parking for an hour and ran to the building.  We took loads of pictures.  And even climbed the gates - we got in trouble for that one.  But hey -  we got the picture! It really was very beautiful! We got a bit carried away in the building and kind of forgot that my car sat outside the capital, in front of a police station. We freaked a bit when we noticed that it had been well over and hour, and ran back to my car.  Thank anything and everything that my car was there and no tickets!

Our next stop was Mount Bonnell.  This is one of my favorite places in Austin.  You can hike up to the top and the view is gorgeous.  I love climbing up and through the trees.  I have some pictures below, but trust me when I say, the camera does the view no justice.  We sat up there and played charades for a long time. And then we hiked back down to the car.  One of my friends, of course refused to go down the trail and she came down the stairs - they have stairs there for those who don't want to hike up. The drive it self around that area is beautiful. 

We had a quick bite to eat - all of us wolfing down our food and no one really talked for those 30 minutes. I had a chicken shwarma wrap (YUM!). We went down a mile or two and just hung out at a Starbucks for the rest of the time.  Had a nice chat and just talked of random things.

It was honestly a great day.  We sang and danced back home all the way.  Actually - we ended up at one of my friends houses and hung out there for a while. 

It wasn't a typical bachelorette party, but I had a lot of fun!  Let me know some fun adventures you've been on lately.  Or share some bachelorette party stories for us here. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

 

One Liners and other things

I discovered a place called PAPER SOURCE.  It is everything that I will ever need in my life.  My Friend and I splurged there - no yokes. It's basically a paper store.  I don't know why that made me so happy, but it did!  It is there, where I discovered this book of sorts.  Its called ONE LINE A DAY.  Basically it is a blank book with a worth of 5 year calender days. And each day you write a line - something to remember that day by.  Something big or small, eventful or not.  Its just to record five years of your life with a sentence a day.  I thought it was really interesting!  I mean, imagine reading this a year down and seeing all that you have done or maybe not done - in my case. 

My friend and I, each bought one.  We're planning to meet up 5 years later and reading to each other what has happened in our lives since this Saturday.  The only worry I have - is not keeping up with it - but we'll deal with that, when I get to it!

My first entry was basically - discovering paper source, and figuring out that white chocolate mocha (half shot of espresso) is something that I can handle .  My life is so interesting.

How cute!

Please ignore the burnt finger - thank you.

Other than that - I did get fairy lights and a cute little box sign.
