Hi,
I live just outside of Austin. I am planning our romantic 25th wedding anniversary and have some ideas.... Would love suggestions on others: Here is what I am thinking of (mid November-7 days). Kayak on Lady Bird Lake full moon-Nov 12th. Hotel somewhere in Austin, Umlaf -excuse the spelling- gardens for falling leaves, Polvos for lunch and Mexican Martinis.... SUGGESTIONS here... Catch an AmTrac train for a 2 day get away somewhere (Dallas or Little Rock), and back again Sleeper room or bedroom each way. Would like dining suggestions, please. Carriage ride possible. Cool things to do? Ideas on unusual places, festivals, music? Anyone been to Uchi? He likes sports, high tech, food, good food. She likes live music, dancing, art, nature, the river.

We've spent a romantic weekend at the Four Seasons...ate dinner there, too. Really good food and service. Umlauf is a great idea. If she likes art, you could go to the art museum in Fort Worth. Everything you've said sounds perfect.

UCHI is fantastic, it is very loud and busy, just so you know, but with the excellant food and service it makes up for it

There is the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa out toward Bastrop. That is not very far from Austin, Texas, and I hear it's very popular. There are also some rentals on the river nearby the Hyatt that you can search for on Craigslist.

Check out Vivo for a really neat dinner outside (they give every girl a rose at the end of their meal). Here's the review: Vivo Austin | Yelp. Definitely a place to take a date to.
