Touring Austin Texas

We hiked up to the top of this "mountain". James told us it was 99 stairs, but was actually 103 stairs. I was not planning on the extra 4 steps. It was a very quick and fun hike to see the views.

The boys made it. Congratulations!

You can barely see downtown Austin in the background

You are all welcome to come visit us when we live in this house
or this one....
or this one. We haven't decided on one just yet.
After the hike we went downtown to see the bats. You may ask, why would you want to go see bats. That is what I said at first. Under this bridge there lives somewhere between 1-3 MILLION bats. They all come out right after sunset every night. We didn't get any great photos of the bats, but it was pretty cool.

This is simply to show you the crowds on the bridge not to show you our beautiful faces.

Jon and I thought this building was really cool until James said they call it the noseclipper. Thanks for ruining it.

The round rock that Round Rock is named after. This was a very exciting detour. Thank you James and Allison for taking us here.
