It’s hard to believe that July is coming to an end. Summer is more than halfway through and the kids will be back at school soon. That means it’s time to get back in the swing of the school year — waking up early, packing lunches, doing homework, school drop-off and pickup … and school traffic — yikes!
But you don’t have to start practicing your school driving maneuvers just yet. And the kids don’t have to practice waking up early … maybe next week. There are still ways to enjoy the final few weeks (and weekends) of summer. Squeeze in one more vacation down on the Texas Gulf Coast, escape the heat with a road trip to the mountains, or explore a few of the Lake Travis area swimming spots you haven’t made it out to yet.
What ever happened to that giant water slide that was supposed to be coming to Austin? Maybe next summer.
Here is your Lake Travis area weekend roundup filled with places to go and people to see. As always, thank you for supporting our local businesses, events and live music scene — Live Local!
