‼️ BEST Mobile Detailer in Austin, Tx 🚗

@senecadetailing

For years I’ve been looking for someone to deep clean my disgusting car. My 3 boys (and all their friends I drive around) make having a clean car impossible. 😅

🤩Luckily I found @senecadetailing here in Austin and they did a great job cleaning up my Mom car!

❄️ SNOW DAY IS THIS SATURDAY ❄️

☃️ Frosty Fun Fest at @sciencemilltx is this Saturday, January 18 from 10am-2pm!

Science Mill is a kids’ science museum in Johnson City filled with indoor and outdoor hands-on and interactive exhibits. We have brought our kids here many times over the years at varying ages and they always have a good time, however I feel like kids ages 5+ will get the most out of the museum. Kids of all ages like snow though! 😉

❄️ What to expect at Snow Day:
📅 Saturday, Jan 18
⏰ 10am-2pm
🎟️ $10-12
📍 101 South Lady Bird Lane, Johnson City
🚗 Street parking in front and parking lot west of the museum
👧 Crowds! Lots of people! This is a very popular, very packed event! You have been warned!
❄️ Snow pit with 28 tons of real snow
🛷 Mini sled derby
❄️ Snowball slingshot
🔎 Science demonstrations, engineering challenges
🍧 Kona Ice, tacos, coffee, sandwiches, hot dogs, lobster rolls

🌳 HIKE + FOOD PAIRING 🇬🇷

I love combining our outings like this! Hiking and eating are 2 of my favorites.

📍 Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, 12138 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
🥾 We did the short loop trail. We started at the playground and the trail was 1.25 miles long. It took us about an hour.
🛝 We also stayed and played at the playground both before and after the hike.

🇬🇷 @santorinicafe.atx is one of our favorite Greek restaurants! It’s 2 minutes from Walnut Creek and they have a cute dog/kid friendly patio with toys for the kids (mostly broken but my kids didn’t care). We love their authentic Greek food!
📍 11800 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
