Save the Date!!!!

It looks like we may have found the perfect location for our wedding. After an insane day of driving around the Austin area (and yes, we did a loop of the city twice) we found a pretty great spot. Some of the really great reasons we liked this hotel:

• There is a spa!! Oh, I'm so going to get the works the day before the wedding. I hope that everyone will be interested in joining me!
• The hotel is currently undergoing a renovations of $30 million dollars - these renovations end by December this year. That means new beds, new modern clean bathrooms, and a staff that is ready and helpful - and the hotel doesn't have the high dollar reputation yet!
• We hope to make this as much of a destination wedding for our guests as possible... There will be a lot of activities available for everyone as the hotel is right on the lake and very near two golf courses, they also offer complementary shuttles to and from the airport and downtown Austin.
• The 5 star restaurant!!!
• The facility has a wonderful room which will host the wedding/reception. If weather permits we may even consider having the wedding service out near the pool, or there are a couple of indoor locations. The point is that there are a lot of options.
• Andy and I both liked the wedding coordinator for this hotel the best - she was a crazy South African lady who has a ton of great ideas to help!

Oh, and one of the most important reason, they had the date we wanted available!!

So, save the date!!!!

We still have to go and take a closer look at the hotel rooms. We don't want a beautiful honeymoon suite for us, and our guests stuffed in a closet! So, after we check that part out, and a few other details we will be securing the facility.
