Austin Trip - Day 4

Day 4 of our trip was nice and relaxing. We spent the morning lounging outside on John's brother's patio, and then the rest of the afternoon at the pool.

That evening, we visited several of John's aunts and uncles at his Aunt Golda's house. I have only met his aunts and uncles at our wedding, so it was really nice to have dinner with them and get to know them a little better. We had some amazing southern home cookin', like brisket, zucchini casserole, buttermilk pie, etc. We also played a fun game called "Pegs & Jokers," and just hung out and talked. Another cool thing about John's aunt's property is that it is the same property his grandparents used to own, and is where his dad was raised. It was really nice to get to see all of that family history on the Madison side.

Here's the photos from Day 4:

I know I'm going to disappoint all of my loyal readers....but you'll have to wait until after the weekend to see the rest of our Austin trip! We're headed to St. George for the weekend, so until then....sit tight for Day 5! :)
