After living in Austin for 3 months, we finally took a day to visit the capitol building and grounds. It's a very interesting place and a great way to spend the day with the family. The capitol grounds are in the heart of downtown, so it was a fun walk up the historic streets of Austin, as well. This is a picture of the rotunda. We saw portraits of important Texas battles and important Texas people, like Davy Crockett :)
Aaron and Greg in front of the capitol building. Aaron was more interested in the cars and trucks driving by.
After our tour of the capitol, we sat down for a relaxing picnic in the connected park.
As we walked back to our car, there was some sort of street fair going on on 6th Street. This is the party street of Austin and is often blocked off for fairs, etc. There were also lots of people in town for the UT game and still many people left from the hurricane.
After our visit downtown we couldn't resist making the drive down to Kyle to see the start on our home. It's somewhat encouraging to see houses in the area that were not there 2 weeks ago. We talked with our sales guy and we were "told" the end of November was still what they were shooting for. They would like to have a closing before the end of their fiscal year, which is the end of November. I would love to get in as soon as possible also, but I also want a house that's going to stay together! After checking this out, we found an awesome Mexcian place in town, which I'm sure we'll visit much more in the future.
