Recently we were INVITED to check out Austin Carriage, the original horse-drawn carriage company in the city of Austin. These folks, who provide Austin tours via horse-drawn carriage, are fantastic. And no, they haven’t paid us a penny to say this. So read on, fellow Austinot, and learn a little more about this company and […]
Austin Texas Disc Golf Equals Rockin Pastime
This past Sunday, we decided to seize the day and jump on a new activity in Austin. Disc golf. Eric already had some discs that he used back in Seattle, but I was disc-less. Beginning our search for discs, we turned to something familiar: Sports Authority. Alas, the Sports Authority employee I spoke to on […]
The Salt Lick Barbecue
Looking for amazing barbecue food, Austin? Then let’s start with this question: Where is the best BBQ in Texas? I love BBQ. Yes, love is a strong word, I know…but I could honestly eat good ol’ fashioned Texas BBQ three days a week and never tire of it. I’m always looking for “the best of.” […]
Austin Nightlife on Sixth Street

When we get ideas into our heads, we usually want them done fast. This found us desperately calling hitch shops in Austin, […]
New Bikes from The Peddler Bicycle Sport Shop Austin
Yesterday, we got to pick up our matching 2011 Raleigh Roadsters from The Peddler. The Peddler is located at 51st/Duval, close to the UT Intramural Fields. I love shopping local, and The Peddler is definitely a local bike shop. My husband and I went in a couple of weeks ago for the first time. […]
Day Trip to the Natural Bridge Caverns
This past Saturday, Eric and I took a morning drive from Austin to the Natural Bridge Caverns. The Caverns are eight miles off I-35 between New Braunfels and San Antonio (closer to S.A.). It was the perfect day for a drive and time outdoors. The Natural Bridge Caverns runs tours every 40 minutes at the […]
