#14 two more new restaurants

The first new restaurant is Hut's Hamburgers. It has been voted the best hamburger in Austin for the last 21 years by the readers of the Austin Chronicle. I had the Hut's Favorite with
mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon and American cheese. The hubby had the Ritchie Valens Burger
with guacamole, grated cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, mayo and mustard. I must say that both of the burgers were heavenly! I would rank them up there with the best burgers I have ever had, and that is saying a lot because I am very particular when it comes to burgers.

We also got a half order of their onion rings. These onion rings were huge! I am talking like the size of my face. We only managed to eat one apiece since they were so huge. They are worth trying if for nothing else than the experience.

I really liked the eclectic atmosphere and the beautiful view from our window-side booth. We were able to overlook the river which was nice to observe inside since it was so blooming awful outside. All in all we will for sure be going back and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty burger!



The second new restaurant is far less exciting, but we had never been before so it counts as new. We went to Jason's deli. I got a BLT sandwich. I was much larger than I was expecting. I only ate about half of it since I had to save room for the free soft serve ice cream. It was a good sandwich and they have nice outdoor seating at Southpark Meadows, but I like so many other sandwich shops more. We will probably go back again to try their soups, but overall it gets an ehh.

Officially hate blogger

I tried to change my template and it deleted ALL of my side bar stuff!! Oh it makes me angry...off to fix it.

#58 go kayaking

So I have been kayaking before, but I felt that if I didn't put it on this list we may not get around to it again for awhile. This weekend we headed over to the rowing dock in Zilker Park and rented kayaks. The weather was beautiful, although a little windy at times. We paddled around for about 2 hours and made it all the way down to Congress and back. It was a lot of fun and I am glad we were able to do it with Stephanie since the weather was so crappy when she was in last in July.

#63 Get a pedicure with Stephanie

Saturday after a long night of walking around the river walk in San Antonio my BFF Stephanie and I went to milk and honey for lux pedis. It was so incredibly nice! It was exactly what we needed. I didn't think I would get this one knocked off my list for awhile since it required Stephanie to come and see me. I highly recommend going there for any treatment!

# 14 new restaurant - Zen

This weekend we tried Zen. They just opened a new location in our area and we thought we would give the Japanese fast food a chance. We tried several of their sushi rolls. I would have to say the best one we tried was the spicey tuna roll. Overall the food was pretty good, but they didn't have a lot of variety to choose from. We will probably go back to try their stir fry bowls, but overall not a favorite.

# 56 Hang picture above fireplace

We did it! The photo I took and blew up is finally framed, matted and hung above the fireplace. I absolutely love the way it turned out. Now if we could just do something with the coffee table, I would love our living room. Well maybe a new TV too, ours is in its final death throws. :)

#41 Go to the Austin Celtic Festival

On Saturday we went to the Celtic Festival. Since both of us are very much of Celtic descent we decided to go. It was a lot of fun! There was a lot of really great music and dancers. We had fish and chips and flapjacks (some strange granola like thing that was yum). It was a nice relaxing day in the park. I would go again if the weather was as nice as it was yesterday.

My favorite booth has to be the Austin Jam Co. . This lady makes jams that are sweet and spicy. I bought a jar of the raspberry and it is already half gone :( I will definitely have to seek her out and get more.
