If you want to enjoy a day of floating down the river and end your night with a drive-in theatre experience, then this is the plan for you.

First, head to Texas tubes and New Braunsels.

It's less than an hour drive from Austin.

And once you get there, the first  thing you’ll want to do is rent your tube.

It's a lot of fun, but if you’re not paying attention, you will flip over and may lose your items.

But as you can see, the views are scenic and there's energy in the atmosphere here.

After you finish tubing, head over to Stars and Stripes for a drive-in theater experience.

The concession stands are full of great food options as you probably worked up an appetite at this point.

And you can't beat fresh popcorn while watching a movie to me.

Then, set up your car so you can make sure you're comfortable for the show.

And lastly, sit back and enjoy the movie.

So, see the notes for more details and make it happen soon.
