Summer time in the ATX!

Last week, with my sister and nieces in town we went down to Zilker Park and rediscovered the Barton Springs Pool!  Even though I live here and I go out a lot, I forgot how cool the pool is!  Yes...it is hot...we all know that!  But you don't want to stay inside all day long.  What are you waiting for?  We rented some canoes and raced out the shade of the 1st Street Bridge while my nieces stared on in disbelief that we were in the middle of downtown!?? It was a beautiful day and the fresh air felt good as we rowed until our arms burned-- but, with a sense of accomplishment.

Get out and enjoy the natural beauty of Austin.  The pool is only $3 for adults, $2 ages 12-17 and $1 for seniors and young kids.  Have you forgotten how good the cold water feels?  Remember the shade under those huge trees? Or maybe you want a little sun...so lube up with the sunblock and get out there!   And if you play your cards right, maybe you can treat yourself to a raspa! (aka snow cone)
