Road Trip: Austin.

had a terrific lunch here...

Yesterday was the third and last day of tremendously wonderful weather here in San Antonio...so I decided to take a quick road trip to Austin...specifically South Congress Avenue.  You could get lost on this street for hours with its many restaurants, vintage/antique shops, handmade shops & thrift stores.  Normally when I go to Austin, I travel to thrift stores & vintage shops all over the city, but decided I would simply hang out on South Congress this time.  I'm so glad I did.

so many shops and eateries based out of renovated airstream trailers.

hotel san josé. a little oasis in the middle of the city.

 uncommon objects. you could spend forever looking at the antiques in this little shop.

saint vincent de paul thrift store.  one of my favorite thrift stores in austin.  great prices and i love that they have an eclectic outdoor window display.

I'll be making several more texas road trips before i head back to florida....i haven't even been to houston yet and I hear the thrifting is to die!
