I spent a recent weekend hanging out with my 8 year old niece and her menagerie while my brother and sister-in-law were out of town. Why they trust me with a child, I don't know, but I did manage to feed and water her for 48 hours without too much trouble. After a gnarly cold snap, we had a weekend of gorgeous weather - sunny skies, highs in the low 70s. We packed a picnic lunch and headed out to a couple parks in Austin, Mt. Bonnell, Mayfield Park, Scenic Drive and Lake Austin. Mt. Bonnell & Scenic Drive I've been to many times as it is part of my favorite long run loop in Austin. I had never been to Mayfield Park (hence, it counts as my weekly adventure), which is very close by and guarded by a flock of feisty peacocks.
