Let’s Take This Outside
Posted by Alex · July 1st, 2008
It is officially flip-flop weather here in sunny, HOT, Austin, Texas. When I think summertime, I envision great outdoor parties with all of my friends, cooking on the grill, enjoying fabulous iced beverages, and letting loose with some summer fun! Here are some great ideas and MindBites to get you, your friends, and your family enjoying the upcoming July 4th holiday and summer!
Drinks:
I don’t know about the weather where you are, but summer in Texas is HOT, often paired with an overabundance of HUMID. The only way to brave this sauna is a frosty beverage. My favorites include (in no certain order)-water, iced tea, lemonade, beer, sangria and margaritas. Here are some great summertime drink tips:

Entertainment:
