girls weekend, anyone???

the summer heat is unbearable, my kids are going crazy! i talked to my mother who is just as miserable with the heat... so last minute we decided to hop in the car and meet in austin at their condo. so, here we are, relaxing and playing! (sort of...remember anywhere 4 kids go relaxation hardly follows). but it is a change of scenery! and when i say scenery... i mean it!! we are on the 12th floor over looking the state capital! this is a girls getaway waiting to happen!! i see days spent laying beside the pool, and evenings spent walking the streets going into all the little cutsie stores you husband would never go into with you. and nights sitting sipping wine and enjoying the view and great conversation that is so uninterrupted it ain't even funny! well, anyone that can come up with a good excuse to use on our husbands to get away, let me know and we will be on the road to relaxation!!!


this is our view!


does this scream - come, sit, pour a glass of wine...


this is where we consume WAY too much food!!


look at this room, you might even be able to sleep past 7:30am in here!!!

Looks fun and comfy. Did I even spot a bottle of wine on the couch?? Or was it a wine pillow??
I can see you got your great decorating taste from your mother...or, was it the other way around!? ;)

Wow, what an awesome place. It is gorgeous. I do see where you got your decorating skills from or did you do this one?

OMG!!! You people are soooo talented! This place is simply to die for! I hope you are having a terrific time with your family! You will not find me laying out next to you at any pool! (No offense! Country Girl will!) Did you say shopping, wine and sleeping past 7:30? Sounds wonderful!
