5 Reasons Why I’m Moving To Austin

As I mentioned yesterday, today’s post is devoted to the 5 reasons why I have decided to move to Austin. I loved the city and wanted to point out some of my favorite things I saw while I was there for my 3 day stay.

1. The Live Music

People are not lying when they say Austin is the live music capital of the world. I was amazed at how many different places feature live music, even on the weekdays! There are a ton of music venues to go to shows at as well as the bars. A majority of the bars on 6th street all had a live band, especially on Thursday and Friday night.

It was awesome to catch a few bands while we were there, as Phoenix does not have much for live music. I really look forward to going back to catch some more live shows.

A Look At Austin, Texas

Now that I am rested up and ready to start out the week, I thought I would go back and recap my vacation. Austin has always been a place I wanted to visit and I managed to see just about everything I wanted to see while I was there.

First Impression

When first arriving in Austin, I was pretty excited. It was nice to see grass and trees again, instead of the usual cacti and dirt. It reminded me a lot of Wisconsin, except it was 68 degrees outside in the winter. I would say that Madison, Wisconsin and Austin are very much alike in just about every aspect. A large college, the capital building, and water nearby. Very cool!

Downtown Austin

My favorite part about Austin was the downtown area. It felt much more like a big city than Phoenix. There are more tall buildings and people walking around than downtown Phoenix. It actually has some life to it.

Back From Texas In One Piece!

Well, it’s fing late and I’ve been on the road for the last 15 hours…On a good note, I made it back from Texas in one piece with a few good stories and some pictures.

I’m going to crash for the next 12 hours since I’m beat so tune in tomorrow for my first post about the trip.…

Heading To Austin Tonight

Well everyone, it’s time for another road trip. This time my girlfriend and I are heading to Texas to check out Austin and San Antonio. I have always wanted to visit Austin and am planning to move there in June (if we like it).

We plan on leaving tonight around 8:30 since it is a 14 hour drive. I got the first 7 hour shift so I will be driving until 3. Luckily, I stayed up the last two nights so it shouldn’t be too hard.

Stay tuned for some …
