A Carefree Guide to Texas

Day 1: Austin (1.5 hours drive from San Antonio) 📕 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. 🏰 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. 🔫 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.) 🏞️ 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. 🖼️ 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. 🥩 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
