bohoBlack: Bertillion Family Get Away // Lake Austin

Since Baby Julia decided to hold off last weekend we decided to take the kids to Austin to stay with some of our most favorite people in the world, Bennett and his smokin' hot wife, Dacia aka Cha-Cha.

Their cozy A-Frame on Lake Austin has been our anniversary get-away for a while now. Located just minutes from downtown and S. Congress, this eclectic little casa is quiet, quaint, and so B-rowe. If you have ever been to Bennett's houses then you know what I mean....it's just laid back 70's cool, like him and his wife.

We've wanted to bring Driscoe for a while now, but subconsciously, since Donovan's arrival, I think we've set our drive time to one hour max.....

Need I say more?

Nonetheless, as parents often do, we forget those terrible car rides and sign up for another one just months later and 2 hours longer. And yes, if you are wondering, Donovan screamed for a full hour and 10 minutes, and we still had the best time ever. (I think it's time to turn his car seat around?)

We actually relaxed, something we never do! Bennett, Dacia, & Lily helped us with the kids, we went on the boat, had lunch on the water, even made it to dinner on Saturday night. I think we kept surprising ourselves on how, dare I say, easy it was?
It helped that we were with a couple that shares 5 kids and loves being around our young babies to remember the toddler chaos they used to know all too well. I really think the hardest part was packing and unpacking, something we are getting down to a science.

I'm feeling pretty brave now. I'm ready to pack up and go again, but after that sweet baby Julia gets here.

Enjoy the pics!
