Ottine Mineral Springs: Sun and Soak

Jun 6

The bold mamas kicked off summer with a mid-week day trip to Ottine Mineral Springs in Gonzalez, Texas. With a number of mineral pools, contrast therapy, and sound bath add-on, this was a relaxing and rejuvenating outing - worth the hour drive from Austin.

If you’re planning to visit this Central Texas oasis, here are some bold mama pro tips:

- Arrive early to secure your preferred lounging spot
Pack your water bottle, mineral sunscreeen, a hat, a book, snacks for the ride to/ from - no outside food allowed
