My first thought about Voodoo Doughnut is oh my Lord that’s a big doughnut. These thing are huge and they are awesome
These were so good with so much filling. I really wish there was one near home.

We just happened to stop in the bar to grab a meal and drinks.
We grabbed a shareable app, pulled pork quesadilla. It was great. We also had some masterful cocktails that were very well done.
For entries we had the pork belly and beyond tacos. Both we t well done and incredibly tasty. I’m fact I should apologize because they looked so good and we were so hungry we ate them before grabbing some pics. If anything that should tell you how good they were.
I forgot to pay this earlier but I picked up a new hard side suit case for this trip.
We were looking online and keep seeing Traveler Pro coming up on recommendation list. They apparently were started by an airplane pilot made for frequent flyers. The first company to add spinning wheels.
We picked the Maxlite Air hard side case, in blue. We normally do soft side so we just wanted to try without going crazy. We also decided to go with the large size to replace an old America Tourister. We wanted something large and light weight for our longer trips next year.
We have high hopes for this case. We will keep you updated.
Left the hotel and walked down 6th Street. The locals call it Dirty 6th. We quickly found out why. There is a large number of dive bars and homeless people within a few blocks. We walked around looking for something to eat and ended up going to Eurika, which is at the start of 6th bar screen.
The food and service is great. The staff was very helpful and they made some recommendations that were spot on. We grabbed two salads. The Cobb salad and the steak salad. They were both great.
The real treat however is there whiskey selection. I was able to grab a flight of local whiskey to find some new likes.
Just a few shots from the room. We went conservative and didn’t stay in one of the suits. Our room is really the economy ruins in the hotel but they still have class.
Touched down in Austin and headed to our hotel, The Driskill Hotel.
This is a beautiful hotel. It’s the second oldest hotel in Texas. It has a charm and elegance that you just don’t find anymore. If you get a chance you should at least visit the hotel next time your in Austin even if you can not stay here.
OMG This place is awesome. We grabbed some brisket and sausage and are already planning on coming back and we haven’t left yet.
You order your meats by weight and they are so good you don’t need sauce. The sides are cafeteria style, and great.
You really need to come to Cooper’s when you hit Austin. Oh did I mention the prices are reasonable? No well they are.
Good food reasonable price, what’s not to like.
For a while now I’ve been struggling to get my laptop to connect successfully to the internet. This has caused me to be very slow in posting to this side. As I would have to wait to get home for my trips in order to successfully post anything up. Now that is changing I recently ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy book 2 360. I wanted something lightweight and portable that I can take with me when I travel and then make it easier for me to post and transfer pictures from my phone. As part of the package I also ended up getting a new smartwatch, a Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic. Now I have been a long time user smart watches usually those made by Garmin. But it is nice to have an alternative to what I’ve been used to and again this will give me an interesting opportunity to give you guys some feedback on how the two day battery life works when you’re trying to get to see exciting and new experiences. Stay tuned and I will keep you updated on how both of these are working and as always don’t forget to bring your towel.
After a long day of fun 😊. We hit the Plaza Restaurant for dinner. It’s a small restaurant near the castle in Magic Kingdom. The food is sandwiches and ice cream. This was probably the best value we have had in Disney. The French Dip was good with lots of meat and a tasty horseradish sauce.
The better half grabbed a turkey sandwich.
Both were very good. If your looking not to break the bank and get something good to eat stop by the Plaza Restaurant.
After a fun day at Disney we decided to visit a restaurant at a nearby hotel. So to Todd English’s Bluezoo we tried.
We got a reservation and showed up a little early and stopped by the bar for a cocktail. The cockatiels were ok. The bar tender let the drinks set halfway through crafting to handle other customers which let the ice melt and water down the drinks. I normally take pictures of the drinks too share but the bar was too dark to take a good picture with out cameras. This brings up a point about the whole restaurant. The lights are turned down really low. It gives the impression that your eating in a cave or a restaurant that cannot pay their power bill.
For dinner we ordered an Angus steak and lobster pasta. Both were good but way over priced.
This is the $55 steak posts and mushrooms.
The food is good but the price to quality ratio is not here. Go somewhere else for food and drinks.
So to sum up Todd English’s Bluezoo, had good food but not worth the cost.
