I have always wanted to go to the kite festival, but it is usually scheduled for one of the first weekends in March. It usually rains that weekend and is pushed back to Spring Break, when I am gone. Therefore, I have never been able to go.
Until this year. Thank you, massive drought.
The Austin Kite Festival is held at Zilker Park, the same place as ACL and numerous other cool things. It's got one large field that generally has tons of kites, but this is just obscene(ly awesome).
Joel and I tried to be eco-friendly and drive to downtown, then take the shuttle to the park. Well, the line wrapped around the building. We parked in some overflow parking near the river and walked the rest along Lady Bird Lake Trail. Then we flopped down on the grass and took in the sights. Might not have been worth a 3 year wait, but it was pretty awesome.
Oh, and we brought Iggy. She enjoyed the random loving-on and rolling in the grass.
Here's a collection of some of the cooler sights:
