An Awesome Austin Adventure - July 2020

[Sparksy72]

Hello we are Michelle (me), Adam DH and Cooper DS12. We are from Australia but we live in the UK. We also love travelling to the US.

After a fairly stress filled few travel days on our way to Orlando last August, Delta gifted us with enough travel vouchers and cash to fly return to Austin!
As this is a bonus trip (this summer we have already booked a week in Lake Como and have an August trip to Orlando and New York ) we are planning an action packed 8 days!

So we fly from Newcastle to Amsterdam, then Amsterdam to Austin. We have three nights planned in Austin, including the 4th July, so we are looking forward to visiting the Capitol Building, all of the amazing food trucks, Barton Springs and climbing Mt Bonnel and hanging out at Rainey Street.


We are hiring a car so will then make our way to Dallas for two nights, with a stop for me in Waco! So excited to visit Magnolia Kitchen and the store too! Our plans for Dallas include the AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, South Fork Ranch (home of the Dallas TV Show) and a Trip to the Fort Worth Stockyards, DH would like to fit in a visit to the Gas Monkey Garage if time permits. It will be an action packed couple of days but we don’t need to sleep!

From Dallas we head back to Austin (via Waco again, this time to do the Dr Pepper Museum) for our last three nights, we are looking forward to visiting San Antonio to see the Alamo and the Riverwalk and maybe some tubing at New Braunfels before our journey back to Austin. We will try to fit in a trip to Buc-ee’s on our way back for fuel and snacks!

We would also like to visit Gruene Hall to fit in some line dancing and maybe pick up some merch too!

We love bbq food, so have several places we would like to visit, like Terry Black’s BBQ and Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ. I am honestly hungry already

I will update our hotels as they are confirmed and also add tips from our Concierge at our first Austin Hotel for the 4th July Celebrations. Thanks for reading
