A Carefree Guide to Texas
Day 1: Austin (1.5 hours drive from San Antonio) π The University of Texas at Austin UT Tower: A must-see for its iconic architecture. Blanton Museum of Art: A great place to explore diverse art collections. π° Texas State Capitol Interior Highlights: The Capitol features a stunning dome, legislative chambers, and historical statues. There are maps available inside, and it's recommended to visit each area in order. The official website also offers free guided tours. π« The Range at Austin (Indoor Shooting Range) Variety of Firearms: The range offers a wide selection of guns. We rented a pistol and two rifles. To rent firearms, you'll need to provide identification, such as a driver's license or passport. Staff will instruct you on how to use the guns, and you can leave once you've finished shooting. (Prices are included in the picture.) ποΈ McKinney Falls State Park Activities: This state park is perfect for hiking, picnicking, and enjoying the waterfalls. The admission fee is $6 per person. The Homestead Trail is recommended, which takes about 1.5 hours to complete. πΌοΈ Mount Bonnell Panoramic Views: Enjoy a panoramic view of Austin and the Colorado River. The hike to the top is not strenuous and is particularly beautiful during sunset. π₯© Food Texas BBQ: Austin is famous for its BBQ. Some well-known spots include Terry Black's and Franklin. We visited The Salt Lick, which is a bit far but highly recommended for its all-you-can-eat BBQ. #WhereToGoThisWeekend #TravelTips #StudentTravel
