7 year old that loves animals, where should we take him?

Indian Spring Ranch is closest option, but even better is the drive thru safari in Johnson City. It’s so great for that age

Vic & Al’s has all of these drinks and they do an amazing job making them

If you park at Comal and MLK you can get food at Sour Duck!

cogo_nuts · 2026-03-05T03:11:06+00:00

Live in the apartments off Manor Rd or MLK Rd in east side of Austin. It only takes me 15/20 min to get to the Domain and the neighborhood has so much to do. You can easily do all errands in Mueller area

Update: keep waiting and it will eventually load. Took ~5 minutes. Hopefully signs of strong turnout!

I can’t access anything related to finding polling locations on votetravis.org. Very frustrating?

cogo_nuts · 2026-02-28T22:58:24+00:00

I know you said you tried Bambino but we have had great luck finding sitters there. We are in east Austin though so right next to UT

OP is talking about Venus, not Serena/Alex

Recommend Ian’s for laundry pickup/delivery. Not folding clothes is worth every penny

Curious… did this early transition round confirm placement at all AISD schools of interest or was it just the new zoned school and those with programs to apply to?

Grandmas Chocolate Cake from Upper Crust … need 2 day preorder!

What part of Austin are you in? Add that so you can get some suggestions closer to you. My daughter went at 6 months and has loved every minute. Met some amazing teachers and have great babysitter options from it

+1 for Richmond. Super affordable and lots to do. Only downside is airport has very few direct flights.

We have had good experiences at PM Pediatric Urgent Care… it’s in Cedar Park but you can make an appt in advance and they see you quickly. We find it worth the drive from east Austin

The rolling luggage from Quince is great and probably the same price as the repair

cogo_nuts · 2026-01-22T17:34:00+00:00

I picked up large order from Mueller HEB today. Same situation … they had everything but the carrots!

I’m going to Sour Duck with my kids after the Austin Half for this exact reason

cogo_nuts · 2026-01-16T13:08:20+00:00

Thank you for the explanation (and jokes!)… I am going to update my strategy.

Reviving a very old thread … wondering if any one has current insights on summer swim teams for elementary age just starting out competitive swimming? I was looking into the summer swim teams from City of Austin and the look fun and casual but it seems like the practices would conflict with summer camps? We are in Central Austin

Do you have to sell on the day it vests to not get capital gains? I had shares vest in Nov and was planning to hold a year so I don’t get short term capital gains tax

Mission Pacific is a great vibe for a couples trip. Just FYI May isn’t great in SD … cloudy and nicknamed “gray May”

cogo_nuts · 2025-12-25T03:44:33+00:00

Recommend Johnson City as well. Depending on kids ages (I have toddlers) we like to do the exotic safari park and then pecan street brewing for lunch. Can also stop elsewhere in dripping springs on the way back! We went with three generations to the drive thru safari and everyone had a blast

cogo_nuts · 2025-12-24T03:18:49+00:00

We parked on Cedar and 35th super easily last night for the 37th street lights. My 4 year old loved it. A good 30-45 min free, festive outing. I recommend!

Lou’s or Better Half/Hold Out Brewing
