Steve’s home is such a sweet retreat! We wanted a quiet, relaxing, peaceful vacation, and that’s exactly what we got. We strolled the neighborhood streets and down to Lake Austin/Colorado River after dinner, sat under the wind chimes out back drinking our coffee and rocked on the swing in the afternoon breeze. Downtown Austin is super fast and easy to get to, and there are parks all around to satisfy your nature habit. Also, the Hill Country Galleria has great restaurants with curbside pickup. Our favorite treat, though, is Steve’s dog Tessie Mae. She’d visit us in the morning, standing on the porch with tail wagging, and again in the evening while we played board games or watched tv. It was hard to pack up and head back to the real world. But we’ll be back again for sure!
