Spring break is here in Central Texas, and with time off from school comes warmer weather and sunny days. And in 2020, it also means finding activities to do with your kids that don’t risk contracting or spreading the novel coronavirus.
One of the biggest perks of living in Serene Hills is its proximity to Austin and the Texas Hill Country. There are a ton of day trips families can take to experience the beauty of Central Texas while avoiding heavily populated areas.
- Wildflower Tour: A safe way to experience the outdoors and get out of the house is to take a drive through one of the many wildflower routes around central Texas, to safely experience the beauty of the area during the springtime blooms. Take a drive with the family to areas around Johnson City, Marble Falls, Kingsland and Llano for gorgeous views and fields of wildflowers.

- Hamilton Pool: Hamilton Pool, located just west of Lakeway, is another popular swimming hole in the area for the especially warm spring days famous for it’s beautiful natural structure being formed by the collapse of an underground river thousands of years ago.
- Enchanted Rock: If you’re willing to take your travel outside of the city, there are many towns nearby that make for a wonderful visit for a day or weekend. One of the most popular attractions in Central Texas is the city of Fredericksburg, located about an hour south of town.
