On your way to Austin, spend a day or two in Fredricksburg/Kerrville. Great German food, the best winery in Texas (Grape Creek), and the biggest (and good), Becker Vineyards. Visit the whole Hill Country Wine Trail--some really good surprises. The Nimitz Museum could take a day--(He was born and raised there). Scenery!!!! I love it and you will too!
