I was talking to Gigi<\/a> about 6 weeks ago and she realized I was in the Austin Metro area and told me about a group of Austin bloggers. I signed up, and quickly became very excited about meeting local bloggers. It’s always exciting to hang out with people that are crazy like you.<\/p>\n

I’m not saying that Gigi<\/a>, Christina<\/a>, Kelly<\/a>, Missy<\/a>, Leigh Ann<\/a> or anyone from LiveMom is crazy, but they get me. They totally understand why I have my life public for all the crazies to read. There I go again. I do not think my readers are crazy. In fact, I think they (you) are all very awesome.<\/p>\n

Where was I?<\/p>\n

Yes. Local bloggers. I missed the first social back in March. I’m sure you remember when I was sick<\/a>? Yeah. I couldn’t make it with a fever over 102.<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled to say the April social was last week at Kona Grill<\/a>. If you have one in your area, you REALLY must go.<\/p>\n

My husband and I discovered that on a date night back in the early fall. I feel in love. They quickly moved to the top of my list. We even considered breaking tradition and NOT eating at Ruth’s Chris for our anniversary anymore. Yeah, it’s that good.<\/p>\n

I was super excited that the social was at Kona.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We all tweeted like crazy the entire night. Kevin put 3?4? desserts in front of our face so we could sample all the goods. I got my “usual” (the sweet and spicy shrimp appetizer). I tried the Tomato bisque soup. It’s like LaMadelines, only better. Kelly ordered the Lobster mac and cheese. That was awesome. Thanks so much to Christina for organizing it.<\/p>\n

I have yet to order any thing at that place that tasted bad. If you are planning to go for a FULL meal make sure you try the Macadamia Chicken. I had that the first two times I was there.<\/p>\n

I hope we plan future Girl’s nights at Kona. I would love to make my FAVORITE restaurant a regular spot. What’s even more fun? We tweeted the entire time, but I already told you that.<\/p>\n

This post was written entirely on my own, it is not paid for and 100% my opinion on an awesome restaurant. I don’t normally post about places like this but because it was a GNO and we did get free dessert I thought it might be a nice THANK YOU to let my readers know how awesome the food is. Truly. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
