Want a margarita and some Mexican food? Guerro’s is a local favorite and an easy walk from the house. They have a huge menu and some outdoor seating at the restaurant. Next door there is a music venue that has a full bar and limited bites. The outdoor garden venue is a must visit.

If you’re interested in getting a burger look no further than Hopdoddy. Give the seared tuna burger a try, it’s my favorite. They also have great fries and milkshakes. Expect a line, but it moves quickly. They also have a great happy hour.

A must visit to Barton Springs! The pool is in the 60s and taking the first plunge will take your breath away! But it’s rejuvenating, and beautiful to relax on the grassy lawn. Small fee to enter.
