Is Lady Bird Lake a good place to bring the family for a picnic? I've never been, what is there to do there?

It's a perfect family picnic spot, at least when it isn't too hot! Hiking, biking, water activities, or just watching the wildlife are some fun things to do there. Zilker Park is also close and has playgrounds and botanical gardens. Again, when it's not too hot! We tend to stick to mostly indoor activities on these excessively hot days, but I know a lot of people who still like to be outdoors.

I have been there once with my brothers and we had a really great time. It was a really nice place and it would have been perfect for a picnic. There is plenty of shaded areas if you don't want to sit in the sun and the scenery is gorgeous. I would wait until it cools off a little outside to do that though.

Yes do it at auditorium shores !

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?
