My Austin Guide
Commodore Perry
Last week, I spent a few days in Austin, which some of you may not know is where I grew up! Austin is home for me, so I feel lucky that I live pretty close and can go back for a visit as often as I want. In all my time blogging, I had the shocking realization that I haven’t ever made an Austin guide to my favorite spots. Austin truly is an amazing city. It is beautiful and lively and filled with lots of creative people and fun things to do. Not to mention, the culinary scene is pretty incredible!
So without further ado, scroll down for my favorite stays, sips, and shopping in Austin!
