Happy 4th!

We spent the long weekend with Mike and Julie in Austin and had a blast! For those of you that don’t know, they are some friends of ours from Florida that moved to Austin a few years before we moved to Dallas. It’s been so nice having some peeps out here, even if they are three hours away!

We drove down on Friday afternoon in time for dinner and watching Transformers at the IMAX Theater. We got there about an hour before the showing, and there was already a decent sized line. So we waited…


And waited…

And waited…


About 10 minutes before the movie was supposed to start, they finally let us in. After the attendant thanked us for coming and warned us about the motion sickness people had been experiencing, they started the movie…with no sound.

They finally got the sound working, but then it wasn’t synced up. They restarted it a few times with no luck. People were starting to get up to leave, so we did too. Right after we left, they cancelled the movie and sent everyone out for refunds. Luckily, we’d already gotten our refund and were spared the long, pissed off line everyone else had to wait in.

Saturday was pool time, then out for lunch and some shopping. The boys did their thing and went to Mike’s office and comic book store. (Mike works as a concept artist for Sony entertainment making video games. How cool is that!?) Julie and I headed out to IKEA, the happiest place on Earth. Awesome!!

That night, we went to a show at Esther’s Follies in downtown Austin. The show started out kind of slow for the guys, but it ended up being really good! The magician was amazing!


After that we listened to the fireworks on 6th Street (never actually saw them) and went to a few of the bars for fun.


After spending some time at Coyote Ugly (taking photos that will never see the light of day) we decided to call it a night...after getting our cards read, of course! Thanks for being DD Julie!!


Sunday was pool time again and some delish burgers grilled out by Mike with seriousness of the likes Garrett’s never seen in all of his years filming chef shows.

We had a FUN FUN FUN weekend and can’t wait to go back! Neither can Rowdy, whose new BFF is their cat, Fox.
