Over the weekend we went on a bit of an adventure. We got up early on Saturday morning and headed out to Austin for the day. Jake got the address to a great bbq place we had seen featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives, along with an address for the Austin Zoo. We drove for about an hour and were out in the middle of no-where texas....(did i mention we were on our way to the zoo) when we passed the Salt lick BBQ. That is when we realized that I had entered the address for the BBQ place and not the zoo in the GPS. So we decided to get lunch instead of going to the zoo first. It was AMAZING!!!!! If you come and visit we will have to go to this place because it is so worth the drive. WE had the sampler platter of brisket, sausage, ribs and turkey. All smoked with a fabulous sweet spicy BBQ sauce. We all loved it!
The zoo was not a traditional one but rather a place that rescues exotic animals. They had several wolves, one with only three legs(so sad). There were pot bellied pigs, exotic birds, lions, and tigers and bears, oh my. The kids had fun and it was just big enough that they could walk almost everywhere without getting too tired.
That night Jake headed out to the local Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the UFC fight. We are looking forward to finding a permanent baby sitter so we can go to these events together. However, I had fun staying home with the kids by myself and we made all sorts of fun food for the superbowl. Good weekend all around!
