Trip to Austin 🇺🇸

It was a weekend short trip to Austin, Texas. Just to share some of the places that I have visited 🙌 We discovered Downtown Austin upon arrival. We visited the Texas State Capitol. It was built in 1888, the Texas State Capitol is a symbol of Texas pride and is taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. We took a free guided tour of the building to explore the Texas Legislature, the rotunda, and the Senate and House of Representatives Chambers. 📍1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701 ⏰Open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. We also explored the Bullock Texas State History Museum.
