Maki & a Movie

David was originally supposed to be back in Austin this afternoon, but Saturday night he was ready to leave and left New Orleans around 10 p.m. he arrived in Austin around 5 a.m. Sunday morning and there was no sleeping through his arrival the dogs went crazy running circles around him and barking, it was kind of the cutest thing ever!

We decided to make the most of our weekend day together and for lunch we headed to Maki !
Maki is a place where you design your own sushi rolls you pick either Traditional (seaweed paper) or Modern (soy paper) then you choose your meat, veggies, topping and sauce.

I had a Modern with shrimp tempura filled with avocado, cream cheese, jalapenos with spicy mayo on top. Not the healthiest but it was oh so good!



and Edamame



Sushi was so fresh and the staff was really friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back there many times!

After Sushi we headed to the movies to see Angels and Demons



I really wish I had read the book before seeing the movie. I read Da Vinci Code before seeing it and loved it. I liked Angels and Demons more than Da Vinci Code even, so I just know I would have loved the book.

David luckily still has off work until Wednesday unlike myself he gets way more PTO days (25 days to be exact) and after this long week off he still has 16 days he can take off. Not fair at all I only get 15 days per year and I have to build up the time per pay period before I can even take those days.

At least the boss is vacationing in Honduras at the moment, we are super busy at work but it still a little less stressful!

Design your own sushi is such an awesome idea! More places should start doing that!

Yummy Yummy on the sushi!!! You should still read the book. It's a great read. I got the book with the pictures of all the art included which to me made it even better b/c I could actually visualize the places and statues and such.
