The museum is a great place to learn about the History of Texas and the west. The exhibits are laid out in mostly chronological order and you can see how Texas and Austin became what they are today. There is also a separate exhibit on ACL so you can learn about that festival.

This trail is great because it is shaded most of the way and has a ton of water spots to jump into to cool off. It's dog and family friendly and not overcrowded during the week. The trail is easy to follow and you can make it a quick 1 mile hike or add on a few other trails to make it a 3-6 mile hike.

The Capitol provides free tours to the public and is a great way to learn about the history of Austin. The Capitol building is a fantastic building to see. It's larger than the United State Capitol building because everything is bigger in Texas!

This park stretches from the Northwest side of town all the way to downtown. If you're here on a beautiful day 10/10 would come out here. There are numerous trailheads leading to the river. Great for hiking, swimming and hanging out with friends. Extremely dog friendly. As long as you pick up your cans you can drink out there.

This swimming spot is a great place to cool off in the summer and the hike isn't too hard. After a good rain, it's nice to go there and sit in the many waterfalls that spring up. There is a short waterfall that you can jump off and a rope swing.

Great minor league stadium. You can really get up close and personal with the players and the entertainment during the breaks is fantastic. The prices are what you would see at major league stadiums so that was my only disappointment.

This is a place that I bring anyone that is visiting Austin. It's a staple to show visitors. As a local, it is a cool place to go at anytime and see how it has changed since the last time you went. It has a great view of the Capitol Building and it's easy to get to.

This natural pool formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to erosion thousands of years ago. Located 23 miles west of Austin, it's one of the most gorgeous spots to visit. The 1/4 mile hike has some steep spots but it is completely worth the challenge when you get the secluded grotto.

This spring-fed swimming pool is a delight on every level from it's temp. (65-75 year round) to the history and architecture. Tucked into a corner of the Lady Bird Lake trail and just down the hill from "the" neighborhood dive bar, there is every reason to pay the $3 entrance fee to sun yourself on the banks of the Deep Eddy Pool.

This is a local non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving this park and the peacocks sanctuary that exists in it. It's a hidden gem close to downtown and you might even say its our own little "Secret Garden". The peacocks are gorgeous and the grounds are well kept.

This 2.9 Mile Loop Trail is a great place to bring your dog. It's an off-leash trail so it gives you and your pup plenty of space to explore and hike the trail. There are a few places where you need to cross over the creek so after a heavy rain, it can get a little muddy.

Phew, where to even begin. Kick-Butt honestly has some of the best coffee in Austin, but the food and the drinks even pale in comparison to the atmosphere and the owner. This place has the best cookies and has live music. You can sign up for a regular email with opportunities to win gift cards, and the owner is incredibly responsive to feedback. 10

Dripping Springs is a gorgeous area that has lots of choices for wineries. There are many options to take tour buses to the different wineries. There is usually someone singing with an acoustic guitar and it really sets the mood. You can bring a blanket and have a very peaceful picnic with your wine tasting.

Established in 1955, this gorgeous botanic garden sits right across the street from Zilker Park. Their mission is to promote the education and love of gardening among people of all ages. I think they do just that. When you go to the park, you can see the flowers in all stages and it really gets you excited for gardening.
