Today, May 11, 2013 my baby sister turned 19! I am so lucky to have a sister who does so much for me and am so thankful for her! God truly gave me a best friend!
As lucky as I am, I got to spend the entire day with her. She is a freshman at UT and most of her friends already packed up and moved out. So I was the only one here to take care of my precious sister! Becuase she is a freshman I decided she needed a genuine Austin tour away from the 40 acres. So I took her to a bunch of Austin landmarks and popular places. At each of these places I took a picture of her holding a sign that said "Happy Birthday Rachel!" It was awesome but I am pretty sure she got tired of me telling her to hold up the sign after the 100th picture.
My day actually started when my roommate Theresa invited a bunch of friends to use this groupon she purchased a while back. The groupon was for 8 people to go stand-up paddle boarding for one hour. So at 10am I woke up and went paddleing boarding on Town Lake with seven of my friends!
Then we picked my sister up on our way back from paddle boarding and went back to my house so I could get ready for the rest of the evenings events. First I took Rachel to the 360 Overlook. One of Austin's best sights. Then we headed to Austin Botanical Garden, which I had never been to before. It was so cool, not really cool, but definitely a must do for Austinites. We took a bunch of pictures there before heading to South Congress. I made her take a picture with the notorious "i love you so much" wall. Then we headed to the graffiti wall. The graffiti wall is probably the most Austin sight ever. It is just old pieces of concrete with graffiti art all over them. Non the less, awesome! Next was Snow Beach, my favorite Austin trailer food. Snow Beach seriously has the best snow cones in the world, seriously. Even if you think you don't like snow cones, this place will change your mind. After enjoying our blueberry and passion fruit cone cones we headed to Hey Cupcake. I wanted to buy her a cupcake from there especially on her birthday. Hey Cupcake is Austin's most famous cupcake eatery. After that we headed home to chill before indulging ourselves with food at Hide Park Bar & Grill.
Tonight I will be joining a couple of my friends for celebratory drinks! Celebrating summer and the end of junior year. OH MY GOSH, I AM A SENIOR. Only one more year in this incredible town attending an incredible school. Getting emotional already.
Couldn't have pictured my summer starting any better way!
