SWIM IN BARTON SPRINGS POOL

SPA DAY AT VIVA DAY SPA

For a spa treatment, I go to Viva Day Spa, a local day spa with three locations in Austin: The Domain, 35th St, and North Lamar.

DRINK BEER AT A LOCAL AUSTIN BREWERY

Austin has many craft breweries throughout the city with multiple brews on tap.

Located at Jo’s Coffee on South Congress. Order their iced turbo coffee while you’re there and it’ll keep you caffeinated throughout the trip.

QUICK SLICE AT HOME SLICE PIZZA

Even living in Austin for 10 years, I still love a quick hot slice of margherita pizza from the walk-up window at Home Slice Pizza and a topo chico.
