While in Austin, we went to Barton Springs which is a fresh water spring that is open to the public and feels like an outdoor pool. It was the craziest feeling to be swimming in this fresh water with all the natural rocks and moss underneath our feet while the sides of the springs were cement and lifeguards lined the outskirts. I have never experienced anything like it! It was super hot and the cool springs was the perfect way to enjoy the afternoon. There is an admission fee to enter, so make sure to bring some cash if you check it out. The fee is only a couple of dollars.
^^ There was even a diving board that you could go off! Jacqueline was the only one of us that took the plunge… Literally.
^^ I mean how amazing is Bri’s hat?? This picture does not even do it justice but it is completely adorable.
^^ The Graffiti Hope Gallery is something that you definitely have to check out. It was huge! I loved how the graffiti was really centered around positive messages. There was actually an artist there working while we were running around snapping pictures. The walls go up much higher than we were willing to climb up after being somewhat exhausted from being in the sun all day.
^^ Jacqueline being adorable with her signature sweet ya’ll.
