Shopping
So many cool shops on South Congress, it's hard to pick a favorite. Don't miss Uncommon Objects, and I like Allen's Boots for the real Texas experience. El Interior is another favorite... so shop and stop and grab a cold one at Guero's while you're there. It can keep you busy all day long!

If you wonder why us Texans are so proud of our history, then spend some cool afternoon at the 'Bullock' and take the kids. Oh, and take time to watch the short movie videos throughout the museum. It's a real visual experience.
