On April 18th, we drove almost 2 hours to spend the day in Austin, TX. From all that I had been told about Austin, I knew I was going to like it. Austin's slogan is 'Keep Austin Weird'. We would fit right in.
We didn't get there to almost noon. Our first stop was Zilker Park. We had to pay $5.00 to park because it was a weekend day. We bought tickets for the 25-minute Zilker Zephyr train ride around the park. As we waited for the next train, the boys played on the playground which is right next to the train station. In fact, the train actually goes right through and under the playground.
Love this picture of Scott.
(You can see the train tracks underneath the playground).
The nice lady in front of us offered to take our picture.
The train cost $3.00/adults and $2.00/child.
This guy was playing the harmonica and guitar in the park.
It was a beautiful, hot day.
The train took us on a 25-minute ride in the park.
The train went under bridges and through tunnels.
I was so glad that I brought our bathing suits so that we could get in the Barton Springs (although, Henry didn't have his suit because we can't find it). It was $4.00/adults and $2.00/child to enter the spring.
The spring was much like a swimming pool because there were lifeguards and a diving board.
We were shocked to discover that the water was actually really cold. I thought springs were warm. AND it was really slimy and slippery walking on the rocks.
Just relaxin...
Right at the entrance of the springs,
there was this Splash Exhibit.
We walked through it since it was free.
