Thanks y’all for the wonderful suggestions!! We loved Austin and San Antonio! Never enough time!! Started out with a fabulous dinner with a local friend at Lamberts…Frito Pie…no words!!! After dinner, over to Congress Bridge to see the bats…just my luck, apparently first two weeks in June the bats are pregnant and don’t come out until really late…hundreds of disappointed bat lovers! lol! We still saw a beautiful sunset and met some other really cool tourists. Coffee and dessert to follow at Mozart’s on Lake Austin, which was incredible. Loved the whole SoCo scene…great shops, coffee at Jo’s and yes, best burger ever at Hopdoddy!!! We also took a trip to Book People and agreed it is an awesome book store and bought some really cool souvenirs.

And what can I say about UT Austin except…WOW!!! What an incredible school!!! It was the first tour for my DD but of all the schools I had visited with my DS…this was the most impressive. The size, the energy, the facilities, the tour guide, the pools…and to conclude at the top of the hill overlooking the Bell Tower and the State Capital…goosebumps!!! The bar is now quite high for any other places we visit!!
