Even though it's nearly December, it's never too early to think about summer time fun. Volente Beach Water Park is just a hop, skip and splash away from Austin, in Cedar Park. It's located on FM 2769 right on the beach of beautiful Lake Travis. The park has water rides and slides for every person in the family, young or old. From rides like the `Texas Twister' that take you on a plunge that twists and turns, or how about `The Sidewinder' that takes you and a friend down a slope and up the other side, all why you are twisting and turning sideways! How about trying to get across `Gators Crossing' without falling in! You have to make it from one side of the pool to the other by balancing on lily pads; just a little secret; you get to hang onto a rope from above to keep from falling into th... 08/29/2010

The city of Leander hosts a car rally every month. Leander is about 20-30 minutes from central Austin, so its a pretty reasonable drive. It feels like a short drive if your in a classic car or convertible! The event is called Cars and Coffee and is held the last Sunday of every month from 11:00-2:00pm. John Eagle European car dealer is the main host, but the cars are parked for a block or two around the dealers site in "Old Town". The dealer is located at 200 W. Willis in Old Town. Some of the surrounding streets are blocked off to allow visitors to walk around leisurely to see the cars easily. I participated last Sunday and had a lovely time. The weather was perfect, what we call Chamber of Commerce weather. I drove my classic 1975 TR-6 convertible and managed to even get a sunburn! He... 04/01/2010

These pictures were taken this morning on the inaugural run of The Red Line in from Leander Texas to the Austin Convention Center on 3/22/2010.  As you can see,  the train cars were manufactured in Switzerland.  They are nice and comfortable.  Service was not crowded but there was an abundance of media present. 03/22/2010

These pictures were taken this morning!  The media was out in full force and even Spike from Round Rock Express was there to entertain us as we road the rail for the first time.  This picture was taken as people started boarding.  I was sitting on the upper deck where there are nice comfortable tables and wireless internet access.  The wireless was slow.  The TV stations could not broadcast using the wireless.  There were several riders who used the hooks for their bicycles. 03/22/2010
