This day trip was a bit different because, well we go to Austin everyday. However, this day trip was to find murals. We were a bit short on time so we only went to the obvious before we headed for lunch. The Greeting from Austin Postcard Mural is a tourist favorite mural so we just had to find it. Of course there is very little room to take a good photo for an amateur like myself but, in any case, I can check this off my bucket list.

| This mural, Hi, How are you? is down around the UT campus. It became famous when Kurt Cobain wore a t-shirt with the mural on it, but it was done by Daniel Johnston who was a musician and an artist. This was done for one of his albums and a local music store asked him to paint this (or something) on the side of their store. The record store is no longer there but the mural has stayed with the support of local Austinite's. |
MOOOOOO!

| Okay maybe not so much a mural but, you know I love this cut out things. This is at Phil's Ice House that has a playground and Amy's ice cream at the restaurant. We had burgers here and finished it up with a diet coke and was able to get out of there without getting any ice cream. I know, how could I? This is a childhood passage that I just robbed my daughter of. Next time, I promise. |
When we were at the Greetings for Austin mural I walked across the street in hopes of getting a better picture. Molly wanted to take a better picture too so she came with me. My hilarious husband told Molly and I to pose for a picture. I did not know what was written beside us on the wall, only when I went to look at the pictures.
