In Austin, check out Homeslice Pizza on Congress. If you have time, take a drive to Fredericksburg (west of both cities, about an hour's drive). Have fun! Oh, and boots and hats are not required, but you will see a lot of them.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972624151678282883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-23683604117719056612009-10-03T19:22:22.904-04:002009-10-03T19:22:22.904-04:00I've been twice, but just for a day.

It's definitely a place to which I'd like to return and sounds like a great winter trip!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495569755015240563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-8310276206430371232009-09-30T18:25:12.111-04:002009-09-30T18:25:12.111-04:00I live in Austin, and personally think it's a ...I live in Austin, and personally think it's a great place! If you like good food and live music, this is the place for you. San Antonio is only an hour drive, and it's a great place to see too. I second everything the previous commenter says. If you're looking for a break from the cold, Texas is a great choice. We Texans will be complaining about the winter weather (we're lucky if it makes it to the 40s in December), but I'm sure it'll feel great to you!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993884348832750143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-58899583812803855022009-09-30T17:57:02.837-04:002009-09-30T17:57:02.837-04:00I'm a follower, originally from your "roa...I'm a follower, originally from your "road to the aisle" blog and I'm from Texas....Austin actually! It would probably be a climate shock(!) but it is very nice here during christmastime. I agree Zilker Park is nice that time of year, they have "The Trail of Lights" and it's a mile long trail of nothing but Christmas decorations/lights/scenes. They also have this HUGE Christmas tree that you can go under and spin around and get really dizzy...and if you're like me, get sick. The riverwalk in S.A. is nice too, you can take a tour on a boat or stroll along on the sidewalks. There's so much to do, and I hope you make your way this way! <br />P.S. They are not REQUIRED but make a fantastic want on your list for Santa! ;)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617258240243337794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-22816232250479226462009-09-30T15:54:16.313-04:002009-09-30T15:54:16.313-04:00The river walk in S.A. is B - E - U - TIFUL at tha...The river walk in S.A. is B - E - U - TIFUL at that time. <br /><br />While you're in Austin, you'll have to check out Zilker Park, which is also decorated for the winter... although, celebrating Christmas in 60 degree weather might seem a little odd at that time. <br /><br />There are also TONS of great restaurants downtown that are walking distance from almost every hotel. <br /><br />Needless to say, Austin won't let you down!!!Miss Steggerdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205971775056812189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-57946115311593484092009-09-30T13:47:43.506-04:002009-09-30T13:47:43.506-04:00I went to San Antonio with my best friend (who is ...I went to San Antonio with my best friend (who is from TX but had only been there 1 time) the week of Thanksgiving and it was awesome. The River Walk was decorated for the holidays but they go even more all out closer to Christmas. <br /><br />I had such a blast in S.A. We took a bus tour of the missions which was really neat. We stayed just about 1 mile from The River Walk so we could walk to our hotel and then back for more partying. So many great restaurants, shops and bars. We were only there for 2 nights but I had such a good time. I would love to go back and spend even more time there since we didn't really explore much of the city.Michelle MGDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213448834798399927noreply@blogger.com
