What is there to do in Austin with a 19 month old?

My husbands job requires him to travel all over the U.S. we are from Arkansas, currentally in Michigan and are about to go to Austin TX in a few weeks and will be there for a few months. I'm a stay at home mom and get tired of sitting at home. We usually stay in hotel suites ( Staybridge Suite or Candlewood Suites) and I love to shop and would love to take my daughte somewhere that she can interact with other little children her age...any suggestions? Also my husband lived in Houston for 22 years and are willing to go there too.
