One of the reasons I love Austin so much is the number of great parks hidden in the city. And since the weather here is so nice this time of year, it's the perfect time to check out some of the local trails. And despite his tiny size, Denver will never turn down a hike if it's with his favorite peeps (that would be us). Actually, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't turn down a hike with any peeps, favorites or not, since he's never met a human he didn't like.
Since doing workout tapes in the sanctuary of my living room can be a little claustrophobic when it's a balmy 80 degrees outside, exploring local parks is a great alternative for getting some much needed exercise. Thus, Nelson and I have embarked on a "tour de trails" of Austin.
Our first was this past Saturday morning, in a very residential neighborhood that we never would have found except for Nelson's super sleuthing skills (i.e. Google). It was the perfect place for a relatively easy hike and lively political discussion. It's interesting how you think you really know someone, after 10 years, and then get caught off guard when you hear what their REAL political views are.
At any rate, behold the beauty that lies deep within the city of Austin, whether you fancy political talk or not.
And check out the best little hiker under 12 pounds, along with the always elusive Nelson, looking very dapper in his very "non-hiking" attire.
