Schaefer's, Johnsons & Future Moore's do ATX!

Amanda & David, and Mason & Beth (Lucy & Ace the Jack Russells also came to play with Lola & Sydney) made a trip to Austin to visit this past weekend. Oh and what a weekend it was! SXSW (South By Southwest--- basically a music & film festival that brings some of God's strangest creatures to ATX) was going on... so it was an eventful weekend to say the least.


Friday night:
Our clan of 6 headed to Guero's (yum yum- a Great Mexican food place) for dinner... after a wonderful, fun dinner, we returned to our house to drop off our car and call a cab. Omar is the best cab driver in all of Austin! Our awesome cabbie dropped us off downtown--- we met up with Jamie & Erin (my 6th & Trinity friends!) and just had a fun night on 6th street. In the hour that it took us to finally find a cab to take us (Mason, Beth, Ryan & I) home, we experienced the following: we walked probably a mile, we laughed, we yelled @ each other, Beth & I thought we were going to get mugged, Ryan & Mason wanted to walk home along side I-35, Beth & I got yelled @ by the bell boy @ a hotel for trying to waive down a cab in front of the hotel, and when we FINALLY got into a cab it died so we had to wait again for another cab, then..... our cab finally showed up! It wasn't Omar. Can somebody say "child molester" or "murderer"? Wow, it was a scary ride home in the nasty Mexican blanket backseat lined cab. Ewww.





Saturday:
I LOVE the weekends and sleeping in! We finally rounded the boys up and headed to Einstein Bagel! My FAVORITE place of all time! After a very late "breakfast" we headed home to shower. David & Amanda met up with us @ the house... then the girls were off to shop! The boys stayed home and took care of 2 Jack Asses.... I mean Jack Russells..... and two Pugs. After a quick shopping experience, we girls headed to Pluckers for a snack.... Fried Pickles, Chips & Queso and Loaded Fries!
We had dinner reservations @ PF Changs for Beth's 25th Birthday!!! Wow, great choice Sara! =) It was AWESOME! They have a special right now where 2 can eat for $40... it includes: 1 appitizer, 2 soups, 2 entrees & 2 MINI desserts! We girls thought that the dessert size was perfect... however Mason said, "This is enough to piss me off!" Oooooh, Mason! After dinner, the Schaefer's went back to stay with family, and the rest of us picked up a couple movies and played Mad Gab! Great times! The Girls (Sara & Beth) won of course!




Sunday:
The Schaefer's headed home to Lubbock.
We took Mason & Beth to Juan in a Million for the "Don Juan" experience. Basically the best meal you will ever get for $3.60. It's potatoes, egg, cheese and bacon.... served with fresh tortillas, chips & GREAT salsa!!! After almost dominating his plate... Mason was short a tortilla... so, in FULL Mexican accent, he turned to Ryan with all seriousness and said, "You think we need more, Tortillas, No?" (Just think of a super Mexican saying "tortillas") HILARIOUS. We (Beth, Ryan & I) died laughing as Mason denied that he ever said it that way!



Well, and that's how it goes when Moore's, Schaefer's & Johnson's do ATX!
