The city boasts an embarrassment of world-class smoky meats, and this East Austin spot (which recently relocated into a really funky fun building) gives Franklin a run for its money. After all, the barbecue joint is from LeAnn Mueller of the legendary Texas barbecue family. Go for the brisket and sausages and any of the fun sandwiches. Be sure to order the superb shells and cheese with smoked vegetables and a little spicy kick.

Amazing one of a kind experience! This is a true village with something for everyone. Gardens. Yoga and meditation classes all day. Hammocks. Outdoor seating with big picnic benches. It IS macrobiotic food, so that may or may not be what you are seeking. But the experience is so worth it, especially if you are going to be over at Zilker Park or Barton Springs. There are also other places over there, that are more touristy, but super fun, and will have alcohol (casa de luz does not), so you may wish to just walk and check out some of those destinations nestled together on Barton Springs Road. There is a place over there with good food, called Juliet. it is Italian, and has lots of outdoor seating. Amazing wines. And good food.

When it comes to beautiful bodies of water, it doesn’t get much better than Lake Travis. This gorgeous Lake is situated about a half hour to 45 minutes outside of the heart of Austin, but the experience is most definitely worth the drive. There are many rental options at Lake Travis. Rent a 2 story barge and throw a party because some of these boats can hold up to 50 people. If you’re looking for something a little more intimate, there are smaller Pontoons available. Jet skis are the way to go if there is only one ore two of you and you just want to get out on the lake!

JUST KEEP WALKING. It' worth it!! There are two falls. The closest to the road is the mini falls.... walk another mile and through an open field and you'll find the BIG falls with pop up DJs and people playing flip cup and pong on the tables they trekked in. Expect for a long hike but well worth it. Wear a bikini and pack water and a towel.

This is the best swimming hole in Austin. Everyone goes to swim at Barton Springs. Save yourself the crowd and go to the far more beautiful McKinney Falls State Park. It's $6 per person to enter during the day. Open from around 8am-10pm. Two amazing swimming holes at the upper and the lower falls.

We have bats, people! Watch millions depart from under the Congress Bridge at sunset for their nightly "food run." It is a sight to behold. This is a seasonal attraction that happens between March-October before the bats head south for the winter. We usually watch them about twice a year because it's just so cool to us :) If you get to check them out, we hope you enjoy!

In 1984, Austin-based artists Sylvia Orozco, Sam Coronado, and Pio Pulido teamed up to create the Mexic-Arte Museum and share the art and culture of Mexico with the people of Austin and all of Texas. They hosted the first Day of the Dead Festival that same year, and it remains the longest-running festival of its kind in Texas, showcasing Latino/Tejano artists, entertainment, and educational programs in the heart of downtown Austin. Today, the museum sits squarely in the heart of downtown Austin on Congress Avenue, where it moved to in 1988. Since it's only one of a few Mexican art museums in the United States, it provides visitors and the community with a unique cultural and learning experience.

If you're visiting the Texas Hill Country, why not spend a few hours visiting with some exotic wildlife on a wildlife ranch called Exotic Resort Zoo. Located on a 137 acres a few miles from Johnson City and about an hour from Austin, Exotic Resort Zoo is home to over 500 animals and 80 unique species. This small family run attraction is focused on giving endangered species an opportunity to increase their numbers in a healthy environment and at the same time allowing visitors to have a hands on experience with the animals. Nearly half of the wild animals in the park at one time or another were listed on the endangered animal lists and nearing extinction and today they are surviving and reproducing for our kids and grandkids to enjoy. During your tour you'll see a wide variety of species from antelope to zebras - some of which include: kangaroo, Eland, Nilgia antelope, Asian water buffalo, Fallow, Rhea, North American bison, Emu, African black ostrich, and lots more.

Hamilton's Pool Nature Preserve is a true natural wonder of the Texas Hill Country. What makes this place special is the 50-foot waterfall that flows from concave limestone cliffs into the pool below. Reservations are required most of the year and usually book up fast, so it is best to plan ahead. Keep in mind that the hiking trail to the pool is a quarter-mile and is steep and rugged with uneven steps and takes about 30 minutes to get there Hamilton Pool also does not allow pets, fires, fishing, camping or biking in the park. 28-minute drive - 17.5 miles away 24300 Hamilton Pool Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620
