Anyone know anything about the Hotel Ella?? It looks like it might be something different than a chain but we do like our nice hotels! Just wondering? Hyatt Regency was my pick but it is sold out.

We may just spend the day in Gruene since it's suggested to have more time in Austin with my age group girls! I'm sure if they are having a great time, we will also!

I think a day in Gruene is fine. Chuy's is another fun spot to eat at in Austin - good for Tex-Mex and margaritas. Remember when one of the Bush daughters was busted for underage drinking? This is the spot, so it's practically historical.

I love all the advise!! I just found something on The Pearl District just outside of Downtown San Antonio. Anyone been there??

We haven't been yet; I think it's fairly new, but our paper recently ran a big story about it, and I thought it looked great. Would love to hear more about it if you go.
