Erin's Birthday and Our Last Days in Austin

On July 31st I turned 27 (yes, I know it has been almost a month since my last post-- sorry!).  Since we were running low on the number of days we had left in Austin we decided to make the day sort of a 'goodbye to Austin' day.  We went to two of our favorite places.
For breakfast, we went to Kerbey Lane Cafe.  It was delicious... as always.  We have only been there a couple times, but it did not disappoint.  We had delicious pancakes.  Kerbey Lane prides themselves on their choices of organic and vegan choices... it's very Austin.  It was lots of fun.
That evening, my parents made the trek from Houston to Austin to celebrate and help us with a few things we needed done before the move.  We went to our favorite BBQ place (which has been praised on Food Network and declared the best BBQ ever!)... The Salt Lick.  It was delicious!  I was sad that my stomach couldn't hold more because I definitely would have liked to store more away.
My birthday was wonderful and I am happy that we were able to spend it in Austin and make it our last hoorah. 

The next week we made our move to Houston.  Besides a two day delay in closing, everything went relatively smoothly.  Daniel went back up to Austin to be there for the packers/movers and then came back down to Houston.  The offloading and most of the unpacking happened quickly and we are already feeling pretty settled.

Happy birthday! You are half my age and far more pleasant to see. You've done pretty well in 27 years. The photos seem to show that everyone had a good time at the Salt Lick.
