Independence '08



We had a wonderful Independence Day. We spent most of the day up in Austin. We first stopped in San Marcus for some shopping. Holy Outlets!!! I couldn't believe how many stores there are up there! Pretty sure I'll be taking another trip, and I'll leave Michael home that day. :) We went with our friends Scott and Paige and rented some canoes on town lake. We visited the capital, drove aroung UT, watched fireworks and ate some uniquely austin food. We now know where the "Keep Austin Weird" shirts and bumper stickers originate and why they're sells are so popular. I acctually have seen said bumper stickers a lot since Friday. Michael managed to loose his phone at the park. Lucky for us there are nice people in this world, some guy picked it us and called us the next day. It was a slightly dramatic ordeal to meet up with him to get it back, but all in all, it was a very relaxing holiday weekend. We missed our family but we tried not to let it get us down. Hooray for Freedom!!

I love the ode to Rocky! The first few holidays away from family are hard. Russ & I have created other traditions that we love to do together when we are missing our fam.
