It’s not like you really need any extra reasons to go to a park, especially if you have kids who bounce off the walls when they’re cooped up inside. But until the end of July, the city of Austin’s TEMPO – Art in Public Places program is a great excuse to check out some spots you may not have been to before. Each of these parks features an outdoor sculpture you can check out for free.
We have had amazing weather these past few weeks- patio season is definitely here! One of our favorite things to do on the weekend when the weather is nice is to drive out to the Jester King Brewery, located roughly 20 miles southwest of downtown Austin. This farmhouse brewery uses locally grown grains and native wild yeast to create an impressive array of beers that are uniquely Texas.
