good place for vintage/thrift shopping, and to take a walk around the 40 Acres (The University of Texas campus). If you're visiting campus, check out the turtle pond, the tower, and the Blanton Art Museum.

a hike near our house. it can be a little tough to find, so ask us for instructions. this is never busy (you might see one-two other people) and goes to a great view of the city skyline. If you keep going, you can get to the nearest walking/biking veloway.

over 130 vendors only on Sunday--you can get lunch, pick up some groceries, and buy some artisan gifts. I actually work here on the weekends. My favorites would be BBQ from Mum Foods, dumplings from Steamies, goat cheese from Pure Luck, bread from Julie Myrtille, cookies from Teddy V Patisserie, coffee from Talisman Coffee, and a lemonade from Ctrus.
