Austin Part 2

I was in Austin for a few days, and blogged about the first half here. Part 2 was for the UT vs. UCLA football game, which was supposed to be a blowout in our favor, but it was not!

(The picture above is the welcome table at the Four Seasons. Isn’t it pretty with the fall/longhorn colors and the longhorn?)

My weekend trip doesn’t have many good food pictures or exercise stories because I caught a cold when we arrived in Austin and spent the weekend resting when we weren’t at the game and trying not to spread my germs around too much. And then I stubbed my toe really badly when I finally went downtown. It was not my most enjoyable trip to Austin.

Whole Foods Flagship Store:

Before game day, I had a great lunch at Whole Foods in Austin, the flagship store and the biggest in the country! On a Friday at lunchtime, it was packed. I had a great salad of spicy feta, quinoa with roasted vegetables, slaw, and some kind of marinated tofu. Also in the mix was lettuce and raisins.

And on the side, I had a wheat roll with chia seeds. I have never seen chia seeds on a roll before!

Here’s our little longhorn family picture. All the below pictures were all smiles before the game.

Our nice house host Jill who let us all stay at her house for the weekend. Hi Jill!

And then we found my parents too.

Better luck next season, Horns. I’m glad y’all were better when I was a student!
