Armadillo Christmas Bazaar

The next morning, dare I say afternoon, Kory and I took Jack to Town Lake for a good walk and his daily visit to the dog park. We then met up with Adam and ventured to the best and most frequented spot for brunch after a night out on the town - Kerbey Lane! We went to the original location which is in an old house with lots of local flair and hippie curb appeal. We ended the day with a visit to the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar housed in the Austin Convention Center just across from the hotel.


The bazaar hosts lots of great musicians throughout its run. We were lucky enough to hear Toni Price, who was an amazing performer and gave us two long sets of beautiful tunes to shop to and listen to while some danced and sang along. I happened to leave the bazaar at the same time as she did, and she was singing "Holly Jolly Christmas" through the hallways. She was full of joy and vitality and enthusiasm - very fun! Not being one to hold back, I of course told her all of this.


We found lots of unique gifts for others and ourselves at the Armadillo. One for you, one for me. One for you, two for me. Is that the Christmas spirit or what?!

Kory's visit left a very favorable impression on our Austin newbie, so he'll surely be back to pick up where we left off.
