โœจ LAST CHANCE โœจ See these 2 Austin lights displays before itโ€™s too late! ๐ŸŒŸLuminations at @wildflowercenter ๐Ÿ“ 4801 La Crosse Ave, Austin ๐Ÿ“… Ends Jan 5 (closed on Jan 1) โฐ Entry from 5:45-7:45pm (closes at 9am) ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ $18-28 ๐Ÿš— Onsite parking is $25. You can also take your chance with free street parking or take the free shuttle from St. Augustineโ€™s University. โ›บ๏ธ New this year: explore Fortlandia while youโ€™re at Luminations! This essentially makes your ticket a โ€œtwo-for-oneโ€! ๐Ÿ™Œ My boys loved climbing the forts at night. ๐ŸฆฝJogging strollers are ok! Gravel path. ๐Ÿง™See @diagonalleyatx for the last time ever! ๐Ÿ“ Circle C Neighborhood (cross streets are Slaughter Lane and Bungalow) ๐Ÿ  This is a house in the neighborhood that does an extravagant lights display in the theme of the Yule Ball at Hogwarts. Every Harry Potter fan should see this before they close! ๐Ÿ“… Last night is Jan 1! โฐ Display is lit from 5:30-9 ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Free to see but please consider donating! ๐Ÿš— You can drive past the house if you donโ€™t want to get out and walk up. We parked down the street and walked up to get a better view and avoid the heavy traffic.

๐Ÿœ Make-Your-Own-Ramen Cafe ๐Ÿ“ @kramyuncafe 1821 S Lakeline Blvd STE 102, Cedar Park, TX ๐ŸœDo your kids love ramen as much as mine do? This charming little store/cafe has a wall of ramen packets you can try! You grab the noodles you want and some toppings and make it all yourself. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Pro tip if you have a kid who is sensitive to spice, even the mild flavor ramen could be too spicy. Only add half of the flavor packet to make it less spicy! ๐Ÿ“ธ Donโ€™t forget to take cute pictures at the Photo Booth in the back and hang a copy on the wall! โœŒ๏ธ
