One of the perks of living in Houston is having so many fun places within road trip distance, and Austin is an easy one at just 2.5 hours away.
Austin has always been a special place for us. Itâs where Cabby went to college and where we got engaged, but somehow we hadnât been back in a few years. So last weekend, we packed up the car, brought Rocko along for his first road trip, and headed back for a quick getaway.
So much has changed since our last visit, which meant plenty of new places to eat, drink, and add to the list for next time.
Hereâs everywhere we made it to this trip. Save this for your next Austin weekend!
