An Afternoon Walk and Panera in Austin!

While my parents were in town, we had one very nice day on Friday. I was able to take the day off from work, and we went for a walk with Jasper on the Town Lake Hike and Bike trail in downtown Austin. It was almost 80 degrees and the setting sun was beautiful.

We started our adventure from the Whole Foods parking deck. Jasper started out in his jogging stroller, but he quickly decided that it wasn't comfortable. Eventually, Erica transitioned Jasper to the Baby Bjorn. Jasper took to that a little better, but we eventually transitioned Jasper back to his stroller.

One the way back to the car, I took a curb drop a little too hard, and Jasper started to cry from the jostling. That made the last couple of blocks a little long. Once we got back to the car, Erica fed Jasper, and we then enjoyed dinner at Whole Foods. We will keep taking Jasper out on short walks. We want to expose him to the outside world as conditions permit.

My parents left on Saturday after spending a week here with Jasper. We enjoyed having them here. On Saturday night, we confirmed that Austin has its first Panera Bread restaurant. A co-worker of mine said he saw it on the SW side of town, and Erica confirmed it on Panera's website. Of course, we went there for dinner, and even Jasper enjoyed it (he had milk courtesy of Erica).

I'm hoping to take Jasper out for walk today. The sun is shining, and the temp is in the 60's. I'll post pictures if we are able to get out.
