I’m partnering up with ForRent.com to bring you a Hi Lovely Austin City Guide at the perfect time as we are selling our house to (hopefully) lease downtown!

We want to build somewhere by the lake but while we wait why not move back in the greatest city of all time! (Ranked #1 by SO many publications if you weren’t aware.) ForRent.com has their guide to Austin here but my favorites and must-haves are below!

That rounds up all the places I love so much. So much so that I cannot wait for Crosson to remember all the memories we will make in this great city. The city he will love one day, too! Here’s again the ForRent.com guide to being a local in Austin, all of Texas and I’ll throw in my second favorite city… Nashville!

So tell me… what’s your FAVORITE thing to do in Austin??
