This past weekend Melissa, Harry and I took one of our famous family road trips. We went to Austin and it was just as amazing as we remembered it. We really needed the trip to get our spirits up after our buyers fell through on the house which had us pretty bummed. I think the trip did the trick. It helped us to stay motivated about making the move to Austin some day, hopefully in the not-too-distant future. We still wish the deal had gone through but as Cormac McCarthy once wrote: "Anyway, you never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."
We stayed at an Aloft hotel. As I understand it, Aloft is to the world famous W hotels what Pei Wei is to PF Changs. Sort of a cheaper version but still dang tasty Chinese food and WAY better than Panda Express (La Quinta?). We had some awesome food, heard some rockin' live music and saw about a million bats at Bat Fest. A splendid time was had by all. Photographic evidence, you say? Well, I think I can oblige you:

With the 1960's Batmobile at BatFest. (No, that's not the penguin in the background. You guys are mean!) My favorite Austin area band, The Black and White Years played there too. Rock!
