If you have not eaten at Garrido's, I highly recommend it

Had a great lunch with @laurabeck and @mattmcginnis today at one of Austin's newest establishments, Garrido's. Austin's newest taqueria was started by chef David Garrido, who was head chef at Jeffrey's. The food was amazing and it was great to catch up with an old colleague and enjoy lunch out of the office on a beautiful Austin day. The food at Garrido's was amazing. Very fresh and light and the sauces were awesome. I had the crispy pork carnitas tacos with pickled onions and habanero salsa and it was fabulous. The location is also great at 3rd and Nueces (across from the Austin Music Hall) with a great indoor seating area and a wonderful patio next to a beautiful green space. And not to mention the menu prices are very reasonable. Based on my first visit I give Garrido's an A+ on all levels - food, service and ambiance. Will definitely be an Austin gem, hopefully not hidden. Read a full, professional review from Austin360.com

Great Wednesday Night in ATX - DEMO Meet up @Lanai, John Erik Send off @Molotov

Had a fun Wednesday night with our friends Chris Shipley and Matt Marshall from DEMO in town for a meet up and to talk to local start-ups at Lanai and then we were off to Molotov to wish John Erik the best of luck on his journey over to China to help start China's first co-working facility, 88 Spaces. It was great to catch up with old friends and colleagues and make new friends as well. It was definitely a fun night that ended with a late night meal at Magnolia Cafe No pics from there, but the tacos were amazing.

Our new pet ladybug

My daughter found a ladybug floating in the pool today and she went absolutely crazy for it. Took it out of the pool, put it on her towel and kept checking on it to make sure it was OK like every 5 minutes. She was so excited about the ladybug that we have now brought it home and it is living in a cup with leaves, strawberries and blueberries. She even wanted to feed it some turkey. I had to stop her on that one. Hopefully it survives at least a few days. Do not want her to get sad!!!

My little fish

It is hard to believe a little less than 3 weeks ago, my little Olivia did not know how to swim, but now she is turning into a little fish. She is all over the pool swimming from end to end, jumping off the steps, putting her head under water and floating on her back. Yes, she still uses the water wings, but she is really getting the hang of it and learning to use both her arms and legs. She is going to be a great swimmer by the end of the summer. I am having so much fun learning with her and being there to help her. I am so proud of her and it is so much fun. Here are some pictures from our swim time yesterday. Enjoy.

Hope Olivia listened in school today...

Because I am looking forward to taking her to the pool to continue the swimming lessons and to cool off in this f’ing heat we are having. If she did not listen, then I have to cancel swimming and I hate to do that for her sake and mine, because it is another day in the 100s and does not look to be cooling off anytime soon. Love the Texas summers but come on now ease us into it, not throw us smack into the middle of hell starting day 1.
