What does one do in Austin the morning after the storm is over? My 6,000+ Keller Williams Realty family members have departed after a week packed with Mega Camp education and fun. After sleeping for about ten hours, I woke up refreshed and ready for a great Saturday in Austin!

We started our morning at a special preview for the newest Taco Deli location opening near our house in Allandale. My sweet friend, Debra, whose husband is part of the ownership team, invited us to enjoy a “test run” of the grand opening, which meant FREE breakfast tacos at our favorite spot. (The original location near the Keller Williams office is a favorite of the KW Wellness team.) After munching on delicious tacos with fresh local vegetables and downing a watermelon aqua fresca, we thanked Debra and wished her luck on tomorrow’s grand opening. We are so lucky that the restaurant has expanded to our neighborhood!

Thanks to Keller Williams’ commitment to encouraging health and wellness, I have a FitBit, which was a company gift. During Mega Camp, I reached a mind-boggling number of steps each day. Wanting to keep up the momentum and reach my goals set in my MAPS Coaching Health and Wellness program, I grabbed my puppy Snickers for a brisk walk around Lady Bird Lake. Just minutes from my home and in the heart of downtown, I never get enough of the remote feeling that the trail offers while providing the best views of our city’s skyline. And yes, I exceeded my step goal for the day. That’s so KW!

Family and friends is what life is all about! This perfect Saturday ended with a relaxing dinner watching college football with our “family,” my brother-in-law and a couple close enough to be family. Cover 3 is a hot spot to watch sports while enjoying real food, not bar food. Their tagline is “Upscale dining with a love for the game” and they nailed it! The menu has something for everyone and the comfortable atmosphere and large televisions make it my #1 game-watching venue. Plus, Cover 3 provides tremendous support to Partnerships for Children, a local non-profit in which I serve on the board. Order the fried pickles! A portion of the price goes back to further the Partnerships for Children mission. Calories don’t count if they are for charity!

The ending of the perfect day was also the end of a perfect week! I appreciate all that Austin offered Keller Williams this week and for the much needed relaxation it provided me today!
