WHAT OUR FRIEND *REALLY* THINKS ABOUT RV LIVING! (AND EXPLORING AUSTIN)

Our friend Natalie came to visit us in Austin, TX. In this vlog Rae and Natalie explore downtown Austin and take you along for their shenanigans. We then did a Q&A with Natalie to see what she thinks about us traveling full time in an RV and what her experience has been staying with us. Hope you enjoy this lighthearted video with one of our dearest friends!

    You need to take a trip to Greune, which is up by New Braunfels. THIS IS ALMOST MANDATORY and is worth rescheduling some itineraries to make room for this. Greune Hall is a very cool Texas Dance Hall which is very old. There is a restaurant which overlooks the Guadalupe River. Make sure you walk down the road to the low-water bridge which crosses the Guadalupe. There is a dive beer bar right on the river at some rapids where it is great just to watch, listen and enjoy the river which is probably 20 feet away. The bar gets washed out every 10 years and make sure to look up into one of the trees for a marker which indicates the height of the river during one of the floods. It will blow your mind. I would drive the entire "river road" taking your time and enjoying the sites. It is a beautiful river. One time, when winter tent camping for my birthday, I had to make a beer run and I was pretty much the only car on the river road. It was late in the afternoon and I came around a bend and there were over 200 or so wild turkeys on both sides of the road. I stopped and just watched. I guess they were coming down for an evening drink. Take care. Also, make sure you go up into the World's Fair tower in San Antonio. It has a nice observation deck, one story above the rotating restaurant and bar. They will give you a free elevator ride if you tell them you are going up for drinks. The deck is just one flight of steps up from the bar :)).

    The bar is no longer there. They tore it down after the last flood. My wife and I were married in Gruene Hall.

She seems to have a great sense of humor and she puts out a great vibe. I really liked when she was asking you guys questions and reacting to your answers. You should definitely have her out and on more often, adding in a talk time with Natalie segment.

    Welcome to Austin! I went to UT and was dying when y’all were trying to find Littlefield House. You were so close!! I don´t know if this is true btw, but in a Criminology class I took my prof told us there are bullet holes in the statue of George Washington on the south mall. I´ve also heard that the dorm is haunted. I never lived on campus but this is definitely something everyone says! Y’all should definitely hit up some breweries in town if you´re still here! They´re all over the city but there is a cluster in North Austin and a cluster in Dripping Springs (southwest ish of Austin)

We got a Bird for Natalie and then started going and seriously it was right around the corner 😂We were walking all around that damn campus before we finally gave up and got the scooter lol. That's really interested about the statue! We did read a lot about the dorms being haunted too. We aren't in Austin anymore but would love to checkout the ones in North Austin! Last year when we were here we stayed in Dripping Springs and it was amazing to see all of those breweries out there!

    Bruce, we also have a Grand Design 5th Wheel and a New Horizons 5th wheel before our Grand Design. You have so much more livable space and maneuverability for when you make that wrong turn and eventually you will. But as all things it is such a personal choice. If I were to go the MH route i would only get a diesel for resell and power.
