After spending a few days in Dallas, TX for work I was able to hop a flight down to Austin, TX to visit Brian and Laura. Brian and I have been friends since elementary school and were roommates for about five years in Boston in my late 20s and early 30s. He moved to San Francisco where he met his wife, Laura, who is in the photo with me, wearing this ridiculous, over sized foam cowboy hat. A few years after they met and married they moved to Austin, TX where Laura had family.
We had a fantastic dinner at Searsucker. Sorry, no pictures or food reviews since it was all about drinking red wine, enjoying each other’s company and getting caught up. My last visit to Austin was back in January 2010 when I flew down with a group of friends to surprise Brian for his 40th birthday, which I wrote about in my post Brian’s birthday party in Austin.
Here is a photo of Laura (without the cowboy hat) and Brian from my first visit to Austin, TX back in 2009.
