Austin - Austin TX Romantic Getaway

Preview: A college town grown up, Austin mixes city pleasures with outdoor recreation in a casual atmosphere that makes it a popular getaway from early spring when the bluebonnets bloom to late fall when the cheers of the last University of Texas football game dissipate. Beautifully situated, the state capital spreads westward onto steep hills and bluffs above the Colorado River and Lake Austin, the last in a series of Highland Lakes stretching northwest of the city and providing one of the state’s most popular recreational water playgrounds. An educational and governmental center, the city now lays claim to being the “live music capital of the world,” and on any given night you will find nearly any kind of music that’s sweet to your ears coming from some club, hall or theater. More zany than serious – what else would you call a town where thousands pour out to celebrate the mystery meat Spam each spring – Austin leans toward the bohemian, so don’t worry, be happy, and enjoy it. This chapter contains the most magical places to stay, the best restaurant discoveries, the fun activities and special moments that a couple will remember forever.
