All Things Kids (Georgetown)

Kudos to All Things Kids in Georgetown for many, many reasons.  This store could just as easily be renamed “The Thinking Child’s Store” where every toy for sale has been carefully selected for the explicit purpose of stimulating a young mind.  Five years ago when I started taking my daughter out and about, I said [...]

Inner Space Cavern (Georgetown)

When it’s over 100 degrees outside and the pool is getting old, why not find a way 50+ feet below ground to stay cool?  That’s just what we did.  Off to Inner Space we went with friends!  This was the first “spelunking” expedition for our kids, and probably the third time that hubby and I [...]

Quarry Splash Pad (Williamson County)

Hooray for the new Quarry Splash Pad at the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park! This place couldn’t have opened at a better time, seeing as how our weather forecast pretty much just predicts HOT for the foreseeable future. My friends and I decided to pack picnic lunches and head to the new splash pad with [...]

Creative Playground (Georgetown)

The Creative Playground in Georgetown is just awesome.  It’s similar to the Children’s Park in San Marcos, just a little bit smaller but certainly large enough for several hours of outdoor play.  The playground is entirely constructed of wood with many towers, bridges, walkways for all sorts of imaginative play.  There’s even a tiered seating [...]

Monument Cafe (Georgetown)

We love discovering new restaurants, and the Monument Cafe in Georgetown is our latest find.  I bet you folks out in Georgetown have been eating here since the place opened.  It certainly felt like the entire Georgetown population was in the cafe, and even with the place packed, we were seated within 15 minutes. The [...]

Cotton Patch Cafe (Georgetown, TX)

After my little one’s first dance recital out in Georgetown this weekend,  my family gathered at Cotton Patch Cafe in Wolf Ranch shopping center afterwards for a post-recital dinner. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, nice breeze and perfect temperature, so we opted to sit outside on the covered patio.  A guitarist was playing at the [...]

Moody’s Cafe (Leander, TX)

We trekked out to Leander one morning for a late breakfast at Moody’s Cafe. The kids wanted pancakes, and it was a miserably cold, rainy day. That was excuse enough for me not to make pancake batter so Moody’s it was. We have never been to Moody’s before, just saw good reviews on Yelp, and [...]

Mason Creek Park and Robin Bledsoe Park playground (Leander)

With the warm, spring like weather last week, my son and I headed out to explore a new park in Leander.  Our intentions were to go to Mason Creek Park, and as we drove north on Bagdad Rd. we saw Robin Bledsoe Park as we were turning onto Eagles Way.  We turned into an older [...]

Cedar Rock train and Southwest Williamson County Regional Park

Southwest Williamson County Regional Park | Cedar Rock Railroad Miniature Train 3005 County Road 175 Leander, TX, 78641 We had heard many great things about the Cedar Rock train so we decided to give it a shot on a Saturday morning. We arrived shortly after 10 am to find a short line of people waiting [...]

Shakes frozen custard

Sure there are all kinds of frozen delicacies to help you beat the heat like shaved Hawaiian ice, gelato, sorbet, ice cream, frozen yogurt, but do any of them really pack that fat wallop goodness like a frozen custard does?  Maybe the super premium ice creams do, but they might not have eggs like frozen [...]
