So you've come here for ways to keep the pocket book full, but maybe you also want to keep the love life full as well. It's almost science that these two are the antithesis of each other right? Not so fast Romeo. Don't break her heart or your bank.
Perfect for the Spring weather and some sunshine, here is a cheap idea for a day trip with that special someone.
Mount Bonnell is:
-- One of Austin’s oldest tourist attractions dating back to 1850.
-- The highest point within Austin City Limits at 785 feet,
-- A wonderful place to picnic in the sun (do it cheaply!)
-- Contains views of Town Lake and the Pennybacker Bridge (above) as well as wonderful vistas of downtown.
-- A short hike from the road and there is no entrance fee! FREE!
Plug this location into your Garmin or Iphone GPS [Or see map here]:

Just be careful when going on a date. It is rumored that if a couple climbs the (approximately 100) stairs once, they fall in love, twice, they’ll become engaged, and three times, it’s inevitable they’ll get married. Do you remember Real World Austin, when Danny and Melinda first met? Well, the lovebirds met at Mount Bonnell, before moving into the house together and eventually getting married! So while the date may be free (or cheap if you splurge for a picnic of some sandwiches or the like) it might just cost you a wedding in the future!
