Austin, Texas is a wonderful place. That's why, I just love spending time traveling around.
The antiques, vintage dud and curiosities attract all manner of shopper (including me). Among the attention getters are silver longhorn tie clips and 1920s cowboy boots adorned with the Texas star.
Furthermore, nobody has it as good as a pooch in Austin: with all of its grassy preserves, the city is an off-leash paradise. Dogs have the run of 13-acre Red Bud Isle between Lake Austin and Lady Bird, but there's plenty for recreation including fishing, swimming and walking the wooded trails.
The secret to the world-famous' cue at the Salt Lick restaurant is the vinegar-based recipe that owner Thurman Roberts's family has passed down for generations. The pork ribs, sausage and brisket are also smoked for 20 hours before they land on a giant platter at the picnic table.

Built in thelate 1800s, the 48-room Mansion at Judges' Hill, with its wraparound porch, four-poster beds, and granite-topped desks, is one of the city's most elegant hotels. But snooty it isn't. The snickerdoodles at the front desk are there to be devoured.
At the lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, cofounded by the former first lady to preserve North America's native flora, some 650 indigenous Texas species are spread across more than 20 gardens and meadows. In fact, anyone can visit in spring when the bluebonnets are at their peak.
Walking into Yard Dog, one of Texas's premier fold and outsider art galleries, is like entering a Eudora Welty story: The room is crowded with curious painting, furniture and constructions that celebrate Southern life.
Austin is really beautiful, from food to places, it's all package-in-one. Thatis why, I love Austin!
