Mint Girl in Austin

A few weekends back, my family and I decided to head to Austin.We would be meeting my uncle and aunt there to spend some time together.I always enjoy spending time with my uncle and aunt(my uncle promised to take me to the Apple Store-I can spend hours there!)

If you want to go to a place with delicious food and a great outdoor space, go to Loro .The food is really good and the swings are really fun to play on. My favorites were the Crunchy Sweet Corn Fritters and the Chicken Karaage. We also stopped at an old time favorite-Cafe Mozart.

After we went to Cafe Mozart, we headed out to rent our own boat on Lake Travis. It was fun to ride the waves with my family. I was really scared as the front of the boat jumped up and down.The waves stung my hand and I pulled it back instantly. The wind whipped my hair into my face and I started to laugh. When I finally worked up the courage to jump of the boat, I took a deep breath, got ready to plunge into the cold water and jumped! I shivered at how cold it was, but I had a smile on my face when I emerged from the murky depths of the water.

My main purpose of the visit, though, was to visit the Lyndon Baines Johnson(LBJ) Presidential Library. I enjoy learning about the president’s life, what problems they had, and how they tried to solve them. They also help me believe that anything is possible.

So what are your favorite places to go to in Austin?

Welcome to Mint Girl

Welcome to Mint Girl. This blog launches on my 10th birthday. This is the place I write about books and restaurants. I also share places I travel to. I write this blog so that I can improve my writing skills. I hope Mint Girl makes you aware of all the wonderful books and places I enjoy.

I enjoy traveling, because it helps me experience different cultures and see some beautiful and unique sites. Did you know I’ve lived in three different countries?

Books transport me into a different world and that can be useful when I need my alone time.I like to read realistic fiction and fantasy books.

I enjoy eating out and trying new cuisines,my favorite being Italian. I also enjoy cooking. I find the usual kids menu in restaurants quite boring as it always contains the usuals (pizza, chicken nuggets,mac and cheese)

Dance and music make me happy.

I hope to write here weekly and share a part of my world with you. Please leave me a comment.
