@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!

🌳 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!

The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican-American Cultural Center (ESB MACC) will host its 17th annual ¡Viva México! celebration outside of the Oswaldo A.B. Cantu/Pan American Recreation Center, 2100 East 3rd St., on Saturday, September 14 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. This lively outdoor celebration on the hillside includes live mariachi music and folkloric dance performances, family-friendly art activities, and a vendor market. This is an alcohol-free event.
Master of Ceremonies Claudia Talamantez from Univision will lead the evening’s entertainment and Mexican Consul Humberto Hernández Haddad will give the Grito de Independencia. A marketplace from Frida Friday ATX will introduce guests to vendors selling original artwork, clothes, jewelry, and gifts that support women and BIPOC local artists. The ESB MACC Education team will be providing free children activities including hands-on crafts.
There will be a free shuttle bus from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. making trips to and from Rudy Mendez Recreation Center to the Pan American Recreation Center. Guests may park in the neighborhood around Rudy Mendez Recreation Center and take the free shuttle to and from the event. There is also some neighborhood parking around the Pan Am Recreation Center.
¡Viva México! is an Austin tradition that pays tribute to both Mexico’s Independence Day and to the diverse cultural traditions of Austin’s Mexican, Mexican-American, Latino, Chicano, and Tejano community. While the ESB MACC is closed for Phase 2 renovations, it is important to continue this annual celebration and East Austin tradition bringing the Austin Latino (Latina/e/x) community together.
