Deep Eddy Pool

We've been so busy lately and have completely failed when it comes to exploring Austin. Bad, bad us.

But last weekend, I feel, we redeemed ourselves. After waking up J went and grabbed some delicious breakfast tacos while I packed for our trip to the Deep Eddy Pool. As a side note, I seriously don't know how we are going to live without the breakfast tacos once we are back in Michigan. They are to Austin (and possibly all of Texas) what bagels are to NYC. You can try to get them somewhere else...but they just aren't as good.

So, Deep Eddy is a spring fed pool that was built in 1915, the oldest swimming pool in Texas. The water is comparable to that of the Great Lakes...it's cold! But you put that water temperature in Texas and it isn't so cold! After playing in their little "park" until it opened, we were all Sweaty Betties and ready to cool off. We were thinking V might have been a little timid with the chilly water, but boy were we wrong! She just walked right in and wanted to keep going!

We were there for about an hour before she had splashed herself to tiredness. We took off for home where she enjoyed a nice long nap...and so did mom and dad.
