Austin

A few weeks ago we went to Austin. Joe had been asked by a Marine to come and swear him in at his commissioning ceremony. So we thought we would make a family trip of it. We had heard Austin was a really cool place. And it is, but not really for kids. It's a very college oriented town that takes pride in being weird. "Keep Austin Weird" is the actual motto and I think they do a good job. The naked man riding his bicycle through town was proof enough for me! We went to watch the ceremony which had a sword detail and the boys thought that was awesome. They all thought seeing Joe in his uniform was very cool too! In between graduation festivities we took the kids to the Austin zoo. We all had a good time!
