Trail of Lights

The Trail of Lights is an Austin tradition. It's 1.25 miles of Christmas displays and lights in Zilker Park. It may almost give you a seizure, but it sure is a fun walk. Lots of cute stuff for kids, too. Go between 7 and 10 PM, and get there by the 23rd because that's the last day.

Highland Lanes

We've been meaning to go bowling here for a long time, since it's not far from where we live. It's a basic, nice bowling alley with lots of lanes... perfect for the amateur bowler. For the best deal, come on Sunday night between 8 PM and midnight: bowling is $9 per person for unlimited bowling, and that includes shoe rental and a free bowl of popcorn.
