In 2015, Tyler and I were planning our annual anniversary trip, as we did with Savannah in 2020 and San Francisco in 2021. However, there was one small exception for this trip – we started planning it the day before we left. We basically created our own Pack Up + Go trip, taking a look at the cheapest flights we could catch the next day.
I now know this is not the best way to find cheap flights (in fact, this is), but that’s how we ended up with tickets to Dallas, Texas, for a long weekend away. Tyler and I were fresh out of college without much experience planning trips, but we still had a ton of fun in Dallas. We really loved the Katy Trail Ice House and had a great time at the Dallas Museum of Art, conveniently located right next to Klyde Warren Park.
And I haven’t been back to Texas since (other than the airport, haha)! My recent US-based travel has been mostly focused on road trips, like Asheville and Blue Ridge. That being said, I am now attending a bachelorette party in Summer 2022 in Austin, and I’m excited to do some more exploring in Texas! I’m also in need of recommendations – that’s where I’m hoping y’all can come in. 😉
From what I can tell, these are some ideal bachelorette activities in Austin, but please please please, give me your recommendations! We’ll officially start planning come January, so I want to have lots of ideas ready to go, including:
- The Alice: An Immersive Cocktail Experience – I saw someone do this in NYC, and I think it would be a ton of fun!
- Hill Country vineyards – there are more than 50 wineries nearby, and you know how much Megan and I love our vineyards…
- The “I Love You So Much” Mural – I mean, gotta do it for the ‘gram; just check out #iloveyousomuchaustin
- GOGA – because what does a group of girls like more than goat yoga?
- The Cavalier – has a ton of positive reviews, especially for brunch
