Off to Roundtop Antique Fair on Friday!

Today's Agenda: Pack for girls' weekend at antique show outside of Austin with great friends Brittany and Megan!

Plan so far: Enjoy Austin on Friday -- Mexican food and avocado margaritas, boutique shopping on South Congress and a drink at the end of the day at Hotel San Jose...and a chance to catch up with my law school roommate Laura. On Saturday, grab some coffee and hit the road from Austin to Roundtop??? (somewhere an hour and a half from Austin; no need for details). Check out this website, this one and this one for more info on the antique markets. Then dinner (and famous pies!) at Royers Round Top Cafe.

*Bonus: Apparently bluebonnets are in season and can be seen along the drive from Austin -- great photo op!

Anniversary Trip - May '09

Today's Agenda: Plan trip to NYC for 5 year anniversary in May!

Planning Points: Happens to coincide with (1) husband's work conference and (2) memorial day weekend.

Plan So Far: The Thompson Lower East Side has a great deal on rooms -- 3 nights for $500 and $100 towards the restaurant. Acela tickets are only $99 each way during that time (vs $72 on the regular train). Reservations for Stanton Social are next on my list of things to do! (Check out the cocktail list -- I love the Black Magic!)

*Bonus: Our wedding photographer, Sabine Scherer, may be in NYC during that time and as a anniversary gift we are going to try to set up a mini-shoot with her!
