6th Street

This past weekend we had originally planned on going to the University of Texas Longhorns game versus the Kansas State Wildcats in Austin. Tyler was going to fly down and it was going to be like last year when he came down for a game, remember that blog post? Well, plans changed and he couldn't make it down at the last minute, so we decided to go anyway...and see the OTHER side of UT football in Austin.

We met a couple down here where his wife is from Kansas and an alum of K Sate. So back when we saw they were playing in Austin this year, we made plans to go. We got an early start for a 7pm game. 6th Street in Austin is like the "bar scene." It is literally bar after bar after bar, filled with college age kids and football fans (on game day). Since we had yet to experience that, we checked that off of our "TX Bucket List" this weekend.

Here are our friends. Stephanie is originally from Kansas, and Curtis from Austin. They live in San Antonio now and we have become good friends.

Like I said, we started the day early. Especially for our friend Dan, a HUGE Nebraska Huskers fan. And they just happened to be playing a huge game against Michigan. So we found the first bar that had College Football playing and ordered a tall beer. We had no idea just HOW tall it was. When the waitress came with them her shirt read "Home of the Big @$$ beer" Then I realized just how big they were...

So the day had started off great! After the Huskers game (which, sadly, they lost) we bar hopped along 6th Street. A ton of purple was floating around- it was fun to see. We went to mostly all roof-top bars because it was 70s-80s and gorgeous out. I pretty much love roof top bars and am very sad there are not more in San Antonio.

 Then we were walking and saw this sign...and could NOT pass it up! For only .50 more we could have Crown. Yes, please :)

We enjoyed our Crown on the roof top as well!

Then game time rolled around. Since Dan's girlfriend was in town (visiting from Fargo!) they found some discounted tickets and went to the game. Curtis, Steph, Kyle and I found a roof top bar with a huge projection screen to watch the game. After the game we went to a few more places before we CRASHED. The drive home the next morning was a little slow, but it was a super fun day. With Austin only being an hour away, I would love to go back and do it again!
