Austin summers are not for the faint of heart. But if you know how to work with the heat instead of against it, they're actually pretty great.
If I had a summer bucket list, the must-haves:
✔️An early morning walk along Town Lake before the heat has any opinions about it.
✔️A laid back afternoon at Hula Hut, overlooking the water, margarita in hand, chips on the table, good company required.
✔️Do you even live in Central Texas if you don't spend at least one day at Schlitterbahn?
✔️A boat day on Lake Travis or a long weekend somewhere along the gulf coast when you need real water and a slower pace.
✔️And then you hold out for Bat Fest. Every summer needs a proper send-off.
What's making it onto your list this year? 👇
