At the end of March, hubby and I went to Texas to attend a surprise birthday party for my aunt Mattie. In addition to surprising my aunt, I also go to meet my recently discovered brother as well as his girlfriend and his mother. Although the weather was hot, it was wonderful to meet and interact with family members from my father's side of the family that I hadn't previously met before. We found the perfect family group outing opportunity when we discovered a nearby fair occurring near the hotel where we were staying.

Since we were flying out of Austin, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to visit Rabbit Food Grocery, which is an all vegan grocery store. I really enjoyed visiting this store because they had a variety of items including, food, clothing, dog food, and toiletry items.

Before we fly out of Austin, we stopped for lunch at next level burger in Austin which was located in Whole Foods. The burgers were delicious and the beerchez fries were divine. So glad to find so many vegan options in Texas and we'll definitely plan to visit there again in the future.
