On Friday, we slept in, hung about a bit relaxing, and then went and had lunch at Thunder Cloud Subs, followed by a SEVEN MILE HIKE! It was actually super fun and aside from me standing in an anthill (lotta bites!) and having pinky toe problems, it was a great way to spend the day. We got a chance to talk, get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and see some beautiful scenery in Austin. I was surprised at how green it was, even though the creek bed was dried out.

Natalie gave me a couple bracelets that are supposed to help with keeping bugs away, which is totally great and something that I need. But right out of the package, they smell very strongly of citronella!
After that, we got all cleaned up and then went to Tino's Greek Cafe for dinner where we got to meet some of Drew's new friends, who were all super nice and very tall. The food was great and the portions were huge! I got a gyro dinner plate that came with soup, salad, and three sides! Yummy!
To help us digest post-dinner, we relaxed and watched the sunset at a little pier area by Lake Austin. I was about to get coffee but decided to wait until we got to the movies. We went to this super cute movie theater called Alamo Drafthouse where the seats have counters in front of them and you can order dinner, drinks, dessert, etc. Drew, Jennifer and Adam ordered shakes, while I ordered hot chocolate chip cookies with ice cream. They were great supplements to an incredibly hilarious movie- I Love You, Man. I think that Drew and I did awkward arms during half the film.
