Downtown On A Thursday Night!

Last night we took my friend, Jana, to the train station. She was trying to save money going home, so she found that the train was the cheapest way to travel. When we got there, we found out that instead of the train leaving at 6:30pm it wasn't set to arrive until 9:10pm and that was at best. So, since we had some time to kill, we decided to make the best of it and venture around downtown. We actually had fun doing things on a whim and it was a great evening to be downtown. I used Dan's camera phone to capture some pictures.

This was not the train that she was going to be on, but I had to include it anyway, because if it wasn't for her train being late, we couldn't have done the things below:

Like find a mini fountain right next to the place that we got yogurt!


So, this is pretty much the last thing that we did before we went back to the train station. There was nothing around saying that we were prohibited from splashing in the water, and once Joshua saw it, I knew we had to let him do it. He had a blast! Perfectly normal, right?

This is were we got yogurt, which is next to the water feature above! They have yummy, yummy yogurt! So many different flavors and toppings!

Before the yogurt and the water fun, we ate at The Hula Hut, a restaurant right on Lake Austin. This is Joshua trying to smile like the Tiki Man.

Water feature turned mini splash pad!

Perfect thing to entertain Joshua with...WATER!!!!

It turned out to be a great evening, full of fun and exciting things! Jana finally was able to board the train after several other mishaps on Amtrak's side. She made it safe and sound, but she told me she will never ride another train again! I told her that if it wasn't for her wanting to ride a train home, we would have not have got to enjoy an evening downtown!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE AND HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!
