*We went to a beautiful peacock park called the May field Preserve on 35th street . Kids had a lot of fun looking at the peacock. It is a must see in Austin.
*The Capital building on Congress Avenue is a good spot to hang around for some time.
*Mozart's (website): This is a nice coffee shop in Austin by the lake,. A very good hang out place.
*Town Lake trail (Where to park): We always love to walk in this beautiful trail by the lake. There is a boat rental in this trail where you can rent kayak's and enjoying kayaking in the lake. It is a must try and I highly recommend it.
*Watch the Congress Street bats , by the bridge you will see millions of bats and it is a one time see.
