How about just visiting for a wknd? HELP
I'm coming to Austin for my 31st bday this weekend, arrive Sat and leave Sunday evening. Its been about 10 years since we have lived there for school, and our interests have "matured" since then (basically we don't care about 6th street). What are your recommendations for the best things to do, places to eat for a quick trip? We are staying at the Aloft @ The Domain, but that doesn't mean we have to stay out there. We have discussed visiting the winery in Lago Vista saturday afternoon, and will definitely see the bats. WHAT ELSE? And where is a great place for my bday dinner (no seafood)?! Thanks ladies!
Re: How about just visiting for a wknd? HELP
Just an FYI... not sure if you are aware or maybe you already know and might be into this sort of thing... but the ROT Rally is this weekend.
If you are staying in the domain then you can eat dinner at Flemings in the Domain. It's one of my favorites. I've also heard good things about Cru- a wine bar, also in the Domain.
I'm not sure what you are looking to do so I don't have any suggestions for that.

If you're looking for something outdoorsy my favorite places in Austin to pack a picnic and go swimming:
Hamilton Natural Water Preserve is nice to visit if you don't mind the drive. It's best to get there before 10:30 on the weekends though.

Similar is Krause Springs:

It's a little further but you wouldn't have to get there quite as early to get a good spot on the weekend. We like this place much better than Hamilton Pool unless you're wanting to do some hiking too. Then Hamilton is the way to go.
