Botanical Gardens - Zilker Park

Today we decided to take advantage of the one of the gorgeous, outdoor attractions Austin has to offer, the Botanical Gardens at Zilker Park. Even though not much is blooming in February, actually nothing was blooming, the park was still awesome.
Landon stayed wrapped up and warm against the crisp breeze. He was very excited to sit facing forward and check out the surroundings.
There were many different, themed areas within the park: Butterfly Garden, Rose Garden, Oriental Garden. Tons of rot-iron pergolas infused with leaves and vines. You can imagine how amazing everything looks during the Spring, in full bloom! The Oriental Garden

Road Trippin'

It's feels like it has been raining forever! Since the sun finally came out today, we figured it was a wonderful opportunity to get out of the house and explore the Hill Country. What a great day! Because of all the rain, the rivers and creeks were flowing and all the vegetation was a bright, beautiful green.
This time of year in central Texas is awesome! The weather is mild and the landscapes are gorgeous. This is what tides me over through the, sometimes unbearable, Texas summers.
Look at those bright, baby blues! Wow, never thought I'd have a blue-eyed kid. When Landon was a baby, everyone told me they would change to brown. I'm so glad they didn't!
Stopped for a snack and a bottle in Blanco. Awesome father/son moment!
