My second museum to visit for free on Austin Museum Day is The Contemporary Austin . This art gallery is located at 7th and Congress, so you just have to run out into the street and snap a photo of the Capitol Building .

LBJ Library (interior)
The interior of the LBJ Library is also pretty cool. There are several exhibits from LBJ’s Presidency, including a mock up of the Oval Office. And now, they have an exhibit covering the 60’s with a jukebox full of songs you can play.
LBJ Library (exterior)
Today is Austin Museum Day , so I decided to visit two museums for free. The first museum is the LBJ Library . I will show you the exterior first. This is a great place for a picnic if you find yourself in the area.
Gone With The Wind
Today I went to see the Gone With The Wind Exhibition at the Harry Ransom Center on the University of Texas campus. They had a ton of memorabilia, including the conserved green curtain dress worn by Vivien Leigh. If you are a fan of the movie, you might want to catch this exhibit before it closes on January 4th, 2015.

A Walk Among the Tombstones
Gritty.
Danielle’s Dream
Today, I am trying a new place to chill before walking in Georgetown – The Georgetown Public Library . The front of the library has a sculpture called Danielle’s Dream . I didn’t have much time to explore, so I will have to return soon. I did find a cool little coffee shop in one corner of the library that I will have to let you know more about. 🙂
Shaved Ice
The conversation at work today:
Work Friend 1: “What’s that?”
Me: “It’s a shaved ice. Grape.”
Work Friend 1: “Where did you get that?”
Me: “At Kawaii Shaved Ice in downtown Round Rock.”
Work Friend 2: “Do you know anyone beyond the age of six that still gets those?”
Me: “Yeah, me.”
My friends at work are so jealous… 🙂
Christopher Cross
I went to Waterloo Records today to see an in store performance by Christopher Cross . His music reminds me of High School and his song “Sailing” was voted in as my High School class song. He even performed that song this afternoon. Oh well, it was nice to see him again in person.
Las Vegas Airport
I find myself back at the Las Vegas Airport again. It is time for this awesome vacation to come to an end. I had fun in Montana and Nevada, and plan to visit both states again sometime. For now, it is back to Austin.
