When it came time for bride-to-be and Texas-native Ally to celebrate her final fling, she decided to ditch the now typical destination weekend and stay in her hometown of Austin! By skipping a flight or road-trip, the girls were able to not only save some moola but also really relax by avoiding all the stresses that come with traveling. The girls rented an amazing house in South Austin with a pool, enjoyed a fancy dinner out and hit the bars downtown for drinks and scavenger hunt. Oh and did we mention the private twerking class?! Read on for all the details!

Where They Stayed
Ally and her bride tribe found an amazing house with a pool (a MUST for summertime in Texas) in South Austin. The modern-style townhouse was a perfect location for the weekend - just a 10 minute Uber to downtown and close to all the other famous spots South Austin has to offer like South Congress, Barton Springs and Zilker Park.
