Zilker Park is probably one of the more “touristy” places to visit- there’s kayaking and also Barton Springs nearby. I enjoy walking around the dog park near Auditorium Shores (by the lake) as well. The Capitol grounds are also fun to visit….McKinney Falls is also a really cool place to walk/hike.

Jester King is great out near dripping springs. The views at the Oasis at Lake Travis are great for sunsets. Go to the bar above and don’t bother eating at the Mexican restaurant. There’s also a giant zip line that looks fun. Austin is a big brewery town and has great ones south and west.

Venture through Mt bonnell

Rent a bike and ride the trails around the city like shoal creek. One of the best parts about Austin is how connected the trails are in the city

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
