If you want to feel the sun on your face and sand in between your toes, Lake Austin is the place to do it! You can wake surf, bounce around on a tube, or just sit back and relax.

One reason I love the lake is because it’s a place for a place for family and friends to just hang out and have fun. I spend practically all my time in the summer with my friends swimming and wake surfing, It’s a hard place to stay away from in the summer heat! The water is always nice and cold when you want to cool down just hop in!

There’s a lot more to on Lake Austin than just swim or go out on a boat. Tons of people kayak, paddle board, play sand volleyball or just sit and have a picnic with their family and friends. On many holidays and special occasions like the 4th of July they have fireworks over the 360 bridge and barbecues at City Park.

So if you want to have a good time with your friends or anyone you know come down to Lake Austin and find out what real fun is like!

I would go to Maine any time or any day. I would walk through trails in the Mountains and then lay on the beach watching waves crash against moss covered rocks. I love seeing the mountains from the beach, it’s the only place in America where you can do that. Maine has harsh winters but the summers are lovely, it’s never to hot and there’s always a little breeze.

I couldn’t think of a place more perfect. My dream is to buy one of the hundreds of little islands scattered along the harbor. In the winter I could go skiing twenty minutes from home or play in the snow while on the beach at the same time. There’s just a little charm everywhere you go, everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Take me back.
