I totally missed the Texas bluebonnets this spring. But, at least the prickly pear cactus is blooming gorgeously.

Great hike and bike trails in Cedar Park, TX

Brushy Creek Trail Map

I found this map for one of my favorite local hike and bike trails in Cedar Park on the City of Cedar Park web site.

This map is from the Community IMPACT Newspaper. Check out the article about the many trails in Cedar Park on the newspaper's web site for more information.

Let the SXSW Festivities Begin!

I'm going to attend the SXSW (South by Southwest) Interactive Activities this weekend. This is my second year and I've been looking forward to this for quite sometime. I learned so much and was so inspired last year that I only have high hope for this year. I'm not flying solo this year so this will make this learning experience even more enjoyable.

I went ahead and pick up the badge for the festival on Thursday night, the night before the festival begins. It's much faster this way. The line was much much shorter and the process was pretty fast. Now I just have to look through the schedule and plan out the next few days.

Visit my facebook page if you'd like to learn a little more about SXSW Interactive through a designer's eyes.

An October Weekend Trip to Big Bend, TX

View Larger Map

I love Big Bend. It's a magical place to me. We've looking forward to this trip for a while now. Wayne's looking forward to riding the Burlingua Dual Sport ride. I'm looking forward to just be there and take it all in. It's been a beautiful day in Austin today. The weather is just perfect. We're hoping for the perfect weather in Big Bend the whole weekend too. Keep your fingers crossed.

The trip's going to take us all day Friday (at least 9 hours from what I can remember) to travel there and all day Monday to travel back. But it's so worth it. I wish that we can stay the whole week sometime. That would be awesome.

I'll try to post pictures if there's internet connection or cell phone service. The last time I was there it was spotty at best. We're going to have a very good weekend!
