Some of my Aunts and cousins are planning a girls trip to Austin in February.
Any ideas on what would be fun for us to do.
Restaurant or historical tours etc.
I'm hoping to get a letterbox or two but none my family box, so they would have to be drive by's.
Thanks!

For quick finds of interesting stamps I would suggest anything by Origami Hen or Bloomin Gramma Jo.

Austin will be nice and cool in Feb - a great time to visit.
This article captures some of the best museums to check out https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2012/oct/17/austin-10-best-museums-galleries
I'd definitely recommend Harry Ransom, Bob Bullock, and LBJ. One thing not on the list is the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, which is a lovely place to visit if the weather is nice. You should also make a visit to Texas State Capitol, which is very worthwhile to see.
As for restaurants - so much depends on what you like, but you should definitely plan on breakfast tacos. Tacodeli, Taco Shack, Torchy's Tacos - all are very popular. BBQ is also a big thing. Google "Austin breakfast tacos" or "Austin BBQ" and you will get loads of info.
I do have a lot of drive by boxes in case you are interested. I'm particularly proud of "Taco Prayer" - which is a drive by and you could combine with a visit to Tacodeli. Your family could eat while you grab a box. :)
Hope you have a great trip!

I second Torchys!
Also, there are a lot of restaurants with live music. We went to one a fewe years ago that was great tex mex food and sat on the patio and listed to a live brand. Ther are lots of choices! Not native, so I can't recommend , but know there are many!
Have fun!
