Welcome to my Scenes From the Week series. In these posts, I share the highlights from my previous week ranging from the simple, everyday things to the more memorable events. One of the primary reasons that I blog is to keep a journal that I can look back on in the future, and these posts help serve that purpose.
(1) To kick off the holiday weekend, Daniel and I had brunch at South Congress Cafe. We hadn’t eaten there since the day we came to Austin to look for apartments back in December 2014. It’s a great place to go if you want a combination of tex-mex and breakfast food!
(2) We celebrated my mom’s birthday as a family this weekend. We had a fun-filled weekend of good food, ice cream, movies, the outdoors, and relaxing.
(3) We enjoyed the sunshine this weekend by walking around some park areas near downtown. We saw a group of turtles legitimately begging for food in the creek! Have you ever seen turtles beg? I haven’t, and I thought it was really cute. They were just sitting there patiently waiting….
(4) My sisters and Daniel and I spent time at a local coffee shop on Monday getting various work/projects done. It was fun to hang out together and be productive at the same time. This is me and my little sister Ellen!
Not Pictured:
- Did you know Tom’s does coffee roasting? We visited the Tom’s coffee shop in Austin. It is a combined coffee shop and retail store. It is really neat to see a brand with such a good purpose expanding and growing.
- We saw the new X-Men movie which I actually thought was pretty entertaining.
- We went to Bath and Body Works and picked up some summer candles. I’ve forced myself to not buy any candles since we got back from Europe until now, so I was so excited to pick up a few. I’m currently burning the New York: Beautiful Day candle, and it smells just like a sunny day at a park. 🙂
On the Blog:
- I shared our day spent driving around the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland here! I took some of my favorite Ireland pictures that day.
Have a great week!
