I have been just so excited to blog on this event and since Sunday was the official kickoff to bat season I thought no better time than the present. Plus, with school just getting out, this seemed like a unique thing to do to kickoff summer. Kayaking on what we now call Lady Bird Lake, plus watc...

Great news, it is Friday again. Sometimes on Friday with it being date night and going out night I like to blog on a new Trendy Place to try. I keep hearing their commercials on the radio and when I heard about the FREE Crawfish Boil every Friday I thought Free Crawfish was worth blogging about....

After blogging on Schloz Garten yesterday it really got me in the Austin Saloon mood, even though I am not much of a beer drinker I can still enjoy the atmosphere.  Why did I choose Shiner’s Today? Hands down, they have the best location. Shiner’s Saloon sits on the second floor, yes second floo...

I hope that everyone is getting back to their normal schedules after the holiday weekend, short weeks are always good in my book. Inspired by the recent announcement that Formula One is coming to Austin in the near future I thought Austin’s Park would be the perfect place to blog on. It is one o...

Happy Memorial Day, for those of you wine (and beer) drinkers that still have the energy for one more day of fun in the sun this is your event.

I hope that everyone’s Memorial Day weekend is off to a fantastic start. Like I said before, this weeken...

Happy Weekend indeed, nothing gets me or anyone excited like a holiday weekend. I do not think that I am the only one who feels like this is a weekend made for enjoying outdoors and all the good stuff Austin has to offer. Can you believe that is was almost a year ago that Michael Jackson passed,...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, I am sure we are all ready to get summer started as this is the quintessential "start to summer" weekend. Let's remember beyond the beers, boats, and sun what we are celebrating and remembering this weekend and be grateful for living in such a great city and country. T...

Second, we are named Best City for the Next Decade by Yahoo.com (thanks for telling me what we all al...

Today felt like a day to reach out to our furry friends and blog on something that they too can enjoy and take part in. I absolutely love taking my dog down here, he goes crazy, actually at any dog park he does. Last month we were at Auditorium Shores and someone asked me if my dog, "rode the sho...
