Perfect Day for Flying a Kite

If you have never experienced the Zilker Park
Kite festival you really need to. We have been in Austin almost 35 years and this is the first time we have ventured out and it is amazing! You can't imagine all the kites from big and fancy to the smallest ones that can be held in the palm of your hand!!
We started out at Burger Center thinking we would catch the shuttle and found out the wait in line was at 1 hour...no way with a four year old in tow, so we got brave and decided we would to try to find a parking place down by the park. Shannon dropped us off at one of the paths and went to park to meet up with us down the walk. It took us probably 30 minutes or so to finally get to the soccer fields where there were millions (well maybe not millions but ALOT of people and kites) We found an empty space for our quilt, guys went of too get us some must have kettle corn and strawberry lemonade and we laid back and took it all in! SO much fun!! We then hiked over to the play scape and found out we could cut through the pool area and cut about 20 minutes off our walk back to the car.... which by that time was a blessing for sure....what a fun afternoon!! so if you get the chance mark your calendar for next spring and venture out...hey we might run into you there and share a blanket!
