Law Students

No Vacancy

By Anonymous

We had another wonderful weekend here at Hotel Lag Liv. One of my best friends from law school took a surprise trip down from Chicago, landing in Austin at 12:30 am Saturday morning and leaving at 6 am today. We had a blast flitting about my new city with Sir Landon (her name for him since he was a little bitty guy). And of course, the best way to see Austin is to eat your way through it: huge breakfast tacos from Juan in a Million, Sonic tater tots and Route 44 Cherry Limeades, copious amounts of beef slathered in bbq sauce from County Line, more breakfast tacos from El Arroyo, more Sonic tater tots, and finally a salad on Sunday night (but a salad with lots of cheese and thick creamy dressing). I think I'm still full. Landon, always happy to have a pretty lady around, also seemed to enjoy himself on our culinary adventures.

So Big!

In between all the eating we took a tour of my office, took the dogs to play in Barton Creek, accompanied Landon to our local pool, and squeezed in a bit of shopping. And there was lots of sitting and talking. It's so nice to have friends you can just pick things right back up with; it's so weird to not know when I'll see her again, I still feel like I'm just on a vacation from my law school life. I'm hoping to make a quick trip up to Chicago some time around Christmas. By then I'll really be missing the city (I already do. A lot.).

Next weekend I have two friends staying with us for the Austin City Limits Festival and then I think we have open rooms for a while. I'm planning a big law school reunion sometime in February- I those girls so much and can't wait to get more of them down here!
