🤩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!
📍 11800 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
