10 Days in Austin

I was in Austin from July 15th-25th. My usual business trips are only 5 days long but because of some scheduling conflicts I ended up staying for longer so I could have time to meet with everyone I needed to. Of course this business trip was way more than just work and meetings, I have an amazing team in Austin who know how to show me a good time. Here are some picture highlights from my trip:

{Team Retreat @ Inks Lake}

I feel like I gain 10 lbs every time I visit Austin… 

Top left= Fried Catfish (pie not pictured) from Blue Bonet Cafe, Middle Left= Torchy's (ATX MUST-I shouldn't admit that I ate there 3 times..) Bottom Left BBQ chicken from Whataburger, and Right Brunch @ La Condesa  on 2nd- I had the Huevos Condesa & incredible desserts. 

{Team dinner @ County Line BBQ} 

{SoCo - candy store & Texas shopping}

{The I love you wall- SoCo}
Right after this we went to dinner at South Congress Cafe. 

{Blues on the Green @ Zilker Park} 
Robert Ellis and the Night Owls performed 

{Bananarchy- real life banana stand!}
Arrested Development, Anyone? 

{Beautiful new corporate office} 
SolarWinds had moved offices since my last visit so it was awesome to see the new digs! Marketing is on the 3rd floor so that was my home for 2 weeks :) 

I seriously don't know how I lucked out with such a great job and amazing co-workers! 

Other activities not pictured: 
  • Floating the San Marcos River- 5 hours of amazing 
  • Lots more food and team dinners
  • Shopping on 2nd street after brunch 
Until next time ATX!

SunRidge In Bloom ✿

We spent the past couple weekends up at SunRidge (last weekend in June and weekend of the 4th). This was our first time seeing SunRidge in all of it's yellow flower glory so I had a field day capturing photos of all the beautiful wildflowers.
