Little more than 20 miles northwest of downtown the Colorado River has been divided into a series of six Highland Lakes. The 19,000-sq-acre Lake Travis (www.laketravisguide.com), Austin’s aquatic playground, is the largest. Fourteen public parks and many more marinas and hotels line the lakeside; one is even clothing-optional. Swim, rent a boat, water ski or just ogle the incredible mansions along the shore for an afternoon’s diversion.

Hey, maybe you could sneak in at least one more night in town. LC Rocks, an awesome ’80s cover band, could be playing, and local country crooner Dale Watson is sure to be somewhere. You still haven’t been to Antone’s, Continental Club or the Elephant Room for more local tunes… Two days isn’t enough. “If you like music and clubs,” says Chris. “You really need to spend a week.”
