Surprising discovery

This past weekend Kyle & I decided to take advantage of our soon to end 'foot loose and fancy free' status and have a date night.  We're super classy, so one of our favorite things of course is nachos.  We are always in search of the perfect nachos.  We actually found them in Seattle- it was glorious. But now we are on the search again. We had the restaurant 'The Oasis' recommended to us, so we figured we would go and check it out.  Not only did they have delicious nachos (score) but they also had an amazing view of Lake Travis.  Kyle & I had never been to Lake Travis so we were excited to check it out.

To be honest, neither one of us knew that Austin had such a hidden jem.  We'd heard of Lake Travis but just figured it was some little dried up lake out in West Austin- boy were we wrong.  One of the things that we both miss the most about the PacNW is all the beautiful lakes, so seeing this this past weekend made us both all the more excited to call Austin our new home.  Who knew that Texas was such a beautiful place?!  (answer: everyone who was born in Texas and thinks that the idea of moving to any other state is borderline insanity-  of course this is utter craziness, but we have to be careful now because we're about to be the parents of a true 'Texan'- scary!!).
