For the second year, a group of us mamas made our lists and checked them twice. No, not lists of gifts – lists of things we wanted to do with (and without) kids in and around Austin. Our goal was to encourage our readers to get out exploring Austin by crossing one item off our lists each month. Sounds doable, right?
Three mamas agreed to participate the past two years and share about their experiences: the good, the not-so-good and the…well, not everything is unicorns and rainbows, right? You can read the 2014 wrap-up post here.
We had some great new experiences in 2015, thanks to another set of bucket list items. Here is what we crossed off the list this year, in no particular order:
✔ Tour the Johnson Ranch
✔ Go to the top of the UT Tower
✔ Tour the Capitol building
✔ Eat tacos for all three meals at different places in one day
✔ East side bar crawl
✔ Rent a pontoon boat on Lake Travis
✔ Eat at Franklin Barbecue
✔ Go to a Texas Stars hockey game
✔ Take a walk on the Boardwalk
✔ Visit
Colorado Bend State Park to see fall color
✔ Go to a dude ranch
✔ Go to Top Golf
✔ Indoor skydiving at iFly
✔ S’mores at Halcyon
✔ Visit the Bee Cave Sculpture Park
✔ Go to a Round Rock Express baseball game
✔ Try footgolf
✔ Volunteer with at least two Austin organizations, using Little Helping Hands to find opportunities
✔ Mt. Playmore
✔ Cathedral of Junk
✔ Springwoods Park

Luckily, there is still plenty more to do in Austin in years to come! What’s on your Austin Bucket list?
