Easter in ATX

Warning: Long post with lots of pictures!

Mr. Snoop and I spent a long weekend in Austin for Easter.  It was marvelous.  We were so thankful to get there since flying down was a total fiasco.  American canceled our flight at midnight Thursday morning when we had planned to fly out Thursday afternoon.  Thanks, American.  We rebooked on United/Continental, and sweet friends drove us to the airport since we had to fly out of a different airport than we were scheduled to come in to.  And of course United was delayed so we missed our connection. 

And this is why we typically only fly Jetblue or Southwest.

Anyway, on to the fun stuff.  We completely soaked up our time in Texas.  Mr. Snoop had a friend from high school in town for job interviews.  It was nice to get to know him, and I know Mr. Snoop loved having him around.  On Friday they went for a run on Town Lake while I went to Last Call, of course.  I got a possible Med School graduation (or related graduation festivities) dress. On mega sale, por supuesto...


On saturday we went to Zilker Park, where Mr. Snoop and Chris played frisbee.  It was gorgeous...


Then we cooled off in Barton Springs...


Don't worry, there were lots of topless sunbathers.  After that we went to Sno Beach for snowcones.  We were visited by this little friend...

See him on Mr. Snoop's shoulder?

He was all over us--landing on me, Mr. Snoop, in my snocone, etc.  We must have smelled good, because he wasn't interested in Chris.  Here's a better picture...


My parents got a new cat last week, Morris.  He is 8 years old and 14.5 solid pounds of love. 


And now for a close-up....

  
Look at that face!   You can see how gigantic his paws are here.

On Easter Sunday we did our traditional brunch at church, Easter service, and dinner at the Salt Lick.  We celebrate Easter with our "church family," and it always so much fun.  We hang out outside for drinks and appetizers for a little while and then go in for amazing bbq.  Here are Mr. Snoop, my brother, and my sister.  Note Mr. Snoop and Chris fratting out with their matching monogramed croakies...


It was hard to come back, but I am so happy we got to go.

I hope everyone had a great weekend, Easter, or Passover!
