One week down, four to go.

After a great first week, we're on our way to Arches National Park followed by Zion National Park. Unfortunately, this will be the last chance I have to update the blog until we arrive at Uncle Bill's house (Skyler's Uncle) in San Diego on June 11th. When I have more time, I'll write a thorough report on Austin as well as yesterday's 16 hour drive across the state of Texas and deep into New Mexico. Until then, here are some of the photos we've snapped from the past few days.

Skyler outside the amazing Ortiz's BBQ Joint in Winters, Texas--one of our stops yesterday (much more to come on this experience):

The Texas State Capitol building in all its shining glory:

We bears are a proud clan! Also, Austin music venues have awesome decorations like this one:

A pick up truck with two Obama stickers and an anti-W sticker? Yep, we're in Austin:

Skyler and I outside the Main Building at the University of Texas AKA the clock tower:

Much more to come soon!
