Worth the Drive: Things to Do Over Holiday Break
Here are a few fun things to do around Central Texas that we feel are worth the drive.
Hike to the top of Enchanted Rock

One of our favorite things to do on a wintry sunny day is to get outdoors and hike. And the hike we all enjoy the most as a family is to the top of Enchanted Rock. It may require a bit of planning (make sure you get there early to get in the park) and it will make you out of breath, but the view & the sense of accomplishment is spectacular. More details here.
Mural Hunt in Austin

We love to find murals in Austin. We used to have a link dedicated to murals, but they move and change so much, that it was hard to keep up. Our suggestion is to google murals in Austin and go exploring! Enjoy breakfast at Snooze Eatery before you go or Home Slice Pizza for lunch.
