We met up with my parents in Austin in spring 2009, and had a grand old time eating barbecue, poking around the university campus and driving through the wildflower-dotted Hill Country. Â
But we’ve not yet seen the rivers of San Antonio, the gulf coast of Galveston,
the art and observatory of dusty Marfa,
the mountains of El Paso, or the NASA Space Station in Houston. Â
Here are some resources to help you plan your own “travels with two” to Texas.

We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Austin with my parents, who flew there from Maryland to meet us…and collectively blow off Passover.

What’s to Eat in Austin
Austin, Texas is a foodie town, hands down. Â From the time we landed to the time to we left, we consistently destroyed our diets…even if we only ogled the food. Â
And you know what? Â We would gladly do it all over again.
