Boxing in the State Capital


We plan it every year. Our annual Christmas boxing adventure. the destination this year was Austin. With clues in hand, and an invitation to spend the night at Bell Motel, we made our way to the beautiful city of Austin. what a great time we had! Whiz Gee and Bell Motel we gracious host and made us both welcome and comfortable. After a cup of delicious tea, Lucy Locket and I settled in for a nights rest.
We were up early Sat. morning much to the chagrin of Bell Motel, and started our journey for the day. Boxing at Zilker Park was a delight. The birds of prey exhibit was very interesting. The View from the top was amazing! While making our way back down the trail, we met CanCan, AnnaBee and Cw Sunseeker. What a treat! It was so nice to see CanCan again, and meet an out of state boxer and Annabee.
Next, we climbed Mt. Bonnell, had lunch and took some nice photos.

After eating lunch on top of MT. Bonnell, we were off to Emma Long park where we stamped into a series by AnnaBee, "Let's have a picnic" What a fun way to "make a lunch".
It was getting late in the day, and the sunlight was alluding us,so we decided it was time to hop back in the car and head to the Hula Hut where we were to meet up with the rest of the gang.

Sunday morning LL and I had decided to get out early to grab the boxes at the state capital building. No Muggles on a cold, early Sunday morning. We also stopped by and stamped in "Head of St. Michael" What a carving this one was!
We enjoyed all the boxes and the time spent with all the Austin Boxers. Can't wait to get back and find some more of those treasures!
