We’ve only been in Austin for a couple of days, but we’re pretty much ready to move here. We’ve had fantastic meals (most notably at Perla’s, La Condesa, and Snack Bar), heard great live music, bought special souvenirs, and have enjoyed some of the natural beauty the city has to offer. I wish we could extend our stay, but here’s a glimpse of our first 24 hours.

    Took your advice on recent college trip to Austin. Found ‘Hey Cupcake’ at 10am and had breakfast! Yes, decadent and a little early for sugar. The icing melts in your mouth and the cupcake is so moist – what a treat! Had late lunch at Perla’s…OMG. Best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. Cheesy grits were amazing. But the best was the desert. Salted carmel something or other (was in a food coma at that point so not sure what we ordered). We were in HEAVEN. La Condesa on the day we were leaving. Needless to say we were sooo happy for our flight back home. Great city, amazing food choices, wonderful shopping. Now if I can get my kid into a school there, I’m a happy Momma – sooo many reasons to visit. Loved Austin! Thanks for the recommendations.
