Austin- Pictures Worth 1000s of Words

July 22, 2007

The famous Sixth Street in downtown Austin, Texas- known for live music, bars and entertainment.  The Frost Tower adds sparkle and glitz to the Austin skyline.

Austinites know that on the UT campus and around downtown that if there’s a tree, there’s a squirrel.  And they like snacks.  They’re friendly and fuzzy- don’t be scared!

We hand fed the squirrel pictured above at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum after watching an IMAX 3-d movie about sharks and taking a tour of the three level museum (which the kids thought was more fun than a “normal museum”).

Lake Austin is one of our most beautiful attractions in the city!  The public boat docks next to Hula Hut and Mozart’s down on Lake Austin Drive makes for a really nice family night cap- dip your toes in the water as you watch boats float along the uber-wealthy waterfront estates.

This view is from the other side of the dam near Barton Springs where you can watch kayakers, swimmers, canoes and ducks up and down the Colorado River!

St. David’s Episcopal Church on 7th and San Jacinto transformed an alley between their parking garage and the newly constructed building to create a peaceful Labyrinth lined with natural Texas landscaping.  This is an amazing retreat- come by and clear your mind- start at the opening and follow through to the middle (it takes longer than you might think, and you’re completely meditated when you reach the middle)!

Most photos of the Capitol are from the other side- enjoy this view featuring the Frost Tower- our newest crown jewel! 

The following photos are skyline views taken over time of Austin, TX.  Enjoy!

If you are relocating to Austin or are ready to move to a different area of town, we’re fanatical about our city and we know it well- call the experts!
