Mom's Weekend Out

Last weekend I got to have a great getaway with two of my dear friends, Lindsay and Kelly. These two girls and I met while working at American Airlines and then cemented our friendship by running a marathon together almost 6 years ago. Since that time, we have all left American (Kelly moved to Austin and Lindsay is now a teacher) but we figured out that we have managed to get together every summer but maybe one - not too bad for girls transitioning jobs and having a total of 4 babies. This summer we headed to Lake Travis in Austin and just relaxed by the pool, laughed and talked until way past our bedtimes, and even got to visit a winery that was so much fun! Now, I will just start my countdown to next year when we get to do it all over again!
We had so much fun at Flat Creek Estate - it just happened to be pretty close to where we were so we went on a whim. It turned out to be ranked as one of the top wineries in the nation - pretty great whim!
I am impressed that none of us look even slightly green in this picture...this was post driving through the winding hills of Austin and a dinner on a moving pier. The pretty views and the fantastically sweet hamburger buns made it all worth it!
