Valentines in Austin

We drove up to visit Moppy in Austin last weekend and we had such a great time!
Let me start off by saying how well I packed. So the weather forcast predicted upper 60s and 70s ALL WEEKEND. Well, a cold front moved in Friday night and all Saturday was 40s and 50s. Thanks alot Wunderground!
Poor Grant was stuck with short sleeved tees and 1 beanie to keep him warm. He was a real trooper.

First stop... Austin's best... HOMESLICE PIZZA!

The highlight for Caden was when the ticket arrived in a glass with smarties in place of mints. Truly one of the coolest places to eat if only for that reason alone.

Next Stop... Hey Cupcake! We drove past the little retro trailer 20 plus times throughout the weekend and the line was no less than 10 people long!


Yeah, they really are that good!
My fave was the Red Velvet. But one of their most popular cupcakes is the "Michael Jackson". It's a chocolate cupcake with Cream Cheese icing.

We loved the live music. This dude was playing at Hey Cupcake. But there were people playing guitars and fiddles outside other shops along Congress.
Later that night we ate at Shady Grove and enjoyed more of Austin's relaxed atmosphere and food. Caden got a tie-dyed tee shirt that says Keep Austin Weird.
Then for Valentines day, Grant took me to Cookie Lounge.

You choose the dough, mixin and coffee or flavored milk. They bake it and bring it out to you. It was SO fun! Grant got a brownsugar white chocolate carmel apple cookie. I ordered a sweet cream white chocolate blueberry cookie. YUM!
Oh, and I got Toasted Marshmallow Milk!
Happy Valentines Day!
