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.
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.
Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan is still my favorite Las Vegas Casino. Here is a view from across the Fountains of Bellagio.
High Roller
Tonight, I took a ride on the High Roller , currently the world’s tallest observation wheel at 550 feet tall. There were some great views of the city throughout the thirty minute ride. What fun!
Mirage
I had dinner at the Mirage tonight, and then walked outside to see the Volcano Show. The food was perfect, and the show was great.
Rhyolite Art
Bottle House
Tom Kelly’s Bottle House was built from almost 30,000 bottles collected from the Rhyolite saloons in 1906. A most interesting piece of architecture to be found in the Rhyolite Ghost Town.
