trip to Austin & College Station...

My sister Rachel, Jackson and I had a great time on our jaunt to central Texas and back...we went to Austin first and stayed a couple of nights with some family, and then we headed to Collage Station and stayed a night with my brother and his family...we tried to fit a lot into this short trip, it was great...and exhausting...

Our itinerary included, visiting with family, lots of swimming, my first (definitely not last!) trip to Ikea, Rudy's BBQ, a photo shoot, yummy home-made food by my aunt and uncle, girl time with my sister, and lots of time in the car...Jackson (just turned two) learned to swim by himself with his life jacket on...talk about scary...I didn't expect this milestone for another year! My favorite pic of him is the one in the water on his back...he kept saying "night, night water" and would lay back and kick his feet up...so cute...

The last pic is of my brother Garrett, his wife Amy, and his step-daughter Emmie...it was so great to see them!
