Austin is wonderful for a weekend getaway! Keep in mind that I lived in Austin and I have co-mingled my Food with ToDo list.
Hotels:
- Hilton Austin - is probably my favorite hotel in Austin. They are dog friendly and right next to the dog park at Lady Bird Lake. There is also a wonderful outdoor patio for eating or watching television. This place is great for a weekend get away!
- Barton Creek Resort & Spa - this hotel is wonderful! The pool has the most incredible view of the golf course and area hills. We rented a house for the six girls going and it was wonderful. This was had its own garage, three bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen, view of the woods and was decorated perfectly. We even entertained a few locals.
- Hyatt Regency Lost Pine Resort - great family place, especially over July 4th Weekend. Lots to do outside!
- Iron Cactus Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar - this place has the best Grilled Portobello Mushroom Enchiladas. Just be sure to go hungry as the portions are large.
- La Traviata - this Italian restaraunt is YUMMY!
- Hula Hut - coconut chicken.......to die for!
- Hit the bars on 6th Street. Not really my scene but if your younger, you will enjoy all the music. There is a place called Qua Bottle Lounge which has great dancing and a dance floor over a fish tank so you dance with the fishies. I prefer to stick to places like Sullivan's Cigar Bar with a little older crowd.
- Town Lake - hit the Hula Hut for dinner and people watch.
- Lake Travis - rent a boat or jet skis and hit the water. Otherwise go over to the Oasis and just watch the boaters.
- Play golf at one of the many courses. The views are wonderful!
