This fall has been filled to the brim with “oblications” {obligation + vacations}. And though I’m beyond delighted to whip across the country for weddings and press trips, it’s important for me to spend quality time with the town I call home. And, equally as important, making time for the people here.
And to make up for neglecting my number one {pictured above}, we planned a weekend of our favorite activities. To add something extra special, we incorporated bottles of Voveti – an upscale {yet affordable} prosecco, perfect for everyday pairing.
First on our list were tacos and hiking. I love parking at the Spyglass entrance at the Greenbelt and grabbing a few tacos at Tacodeli before hitting the trail. And since it’s been exceptionally rainy lately, the Greenbelt is extra green, super shady, and overall beautiful.
The next day, we planned for more nature, but this time at Mount Bonnell {one of the highest points in Austin}. Mount Bonnell is always on my itinerary for out-of-town visitors because it’s relatively close to downtown and has the most stunning view of the city. As a resident, the view will still get ya every time.
There are a few tables and plenty of large rocks that serve as quintessential picnic spots. We packed up a loaf of crusty bread, a charcuterie plate, and a bottle of Voveti to accompany us while we chatted and soaked up the beauty.
Kody has been wanting to learn more about photography, so we snapped a few pictures of each other while talking apertures and shutter speeds. I prefer to be behind the lens, but sometimes it’s nice to have photographic proof that you were there.
And after being out and about for a few hours, we came home and prepared a no-fuss, but still fancy, homemade meal. Verde pork tostadas served with a bottle of Voveti prosecco for the win!
