Great organization of each day trip with things to do, places to shop, places to eat. Great driving directions. Loved the historical accounts of destinations. The only thing that would make this book better for me would be the addition of a photo of each destination.

doesnt really convince me that getting out of the house for an hours drive to a field of longhorns is worth it. i will keep reading and see what kyle has to offer. wahoo

I checked this out from the library, thinking this would be the summer I actually took my kid places while we're out of school.

This is a pretty good travel guide for the Austin area and the Texas Hill Country.
