Things To Do
Texas Capitol
Both Laura and Joseph have worked at the Texas State Capitol! Laura was a committee coordinator clerk for the 2019 legislative session, and Joseph was a tour guide with the State Preservation Board.
Austin Duck Adventures
A fun way to see the city and learn a little bit about its history. Tickets sell out fast, so purchase on the website ahead of time if you want to give this a try.
Peter Pan Mini-Golf
Laura's been doing her best, but she has yet to beat Joseph in a round of mini-golf.
Congress Avenue Bridge
Did you know that Austin is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America? They take flight from beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge around sunset between March and October.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
April is the peak of wildflower season in the Hill Country. Take a drive down and enjoy the botanical gardens.
Kerbey Lane Cafe - University
This is the place Joseph was introduced to Laura's mom, Rebecca. He made a very good impression. Later, she told Laura that Joseph was "the answer to our prayers."
Texas Chili Parlor
Unfortunately the little Indian restaurant that Laura and Joseph walked to for their first date has since closed its doors. This was the location of their second date, all the way back in 2019.
TCBY
The birth order of Laura's three sisters can be remembered using this frozen yogurt spot as a mnemonic. (T)heresa, (C)lara, and (B)ella. Y? Just because!
