Ride the Slide or Float the Lazy River at Rock’N River Family Aquatic Center

August 6, 2015 2:36 pm

Within Round Rock's popular Old Settlers Park resides the Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center, a beloved local attraction in its own right. The sprawling water park boasts more than 40,000 square feet of splashy fun, making it the perfect spot to cool off on a sweltering Texas day.

The playground promises refreshing fun for everyone in your clan with its many different rides and slides. Take a leisurely float down the Lazy River if your companions include smaller kids, or splash around at the pool. Children can rush through the tunnel showers and get soaked in the process or shoot a water cannon toward an unsuspecting playmate. Even older kids will appreciate a trip to Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center thanks to its collection of snaking slides, which send riders hurtling toward a big splash.

Fire in the Hole Stone Pizza and Brew: Pies Fresh from the Wood-Fired Oven

July 30, 2015 2:33 pm

Jonathan Creasey was in the pizza business long before opening Fire in the Hole, but not in quite the way he desired. He owned several Domino's locations until 2012. That was the year that he handed over ownership of his last Domino's and, with the help of another former Domino's franchisee, started serving his own pizza recipes at Fire in the Hole Stone Pizza and Brew.

The pizzeria and craft beer bar showcase the kind of food and drink that has always inspired Creasey, even when he had a hand in selling assembly-line pies. At Fire in the Hole, the kitchen team enlists the best ingredients—whether they hail from Italy or right in Texas—to craft thin-crust pies, then bakes them in the wood-fired oven. They also hand-make pastas inspired by Northern Italian cuisine, create larger entrees such as pork belly and smoked chicken wings, and also knead several different types of bread. Locals rave about the Alabama cheese bread, infused with garlic and Provolone.
