I'm home!! The hill country was great but it's always nice to sleep in your own bed.
So this is a three-part blog entry. I kept meaning to get to the wifi spot at the condo but I never seemed to get around to it. I thought about you all though!
Part 1: FUN!
Love me a road trip. We stopped at Buc-ee's on I-10 as always and loaded up on beef jerky and a super, Texas-sized Monster.

| The living room |
 |
| Rachel's apartment |
 |
| The master tub with jacuzzi...that we didn't use once. |
The next day called for swimming! I got a pouch for Rachel's camera that allows you to take pics underwater. They can be found at Academy near the kayaks. Very cool.
 |
| But sometimes the plastic gets bent and makes some odd distorted photos. This is Charlie. |

 |
| Me |
Swimming always makes me hungry. How about you?
Dinner called for grilled t-bone steaks, broccoli and salad.
 |
| Chuck at the grill |
 |
| Deliciously tender steaks. |
 |
| Meat makes you happy! |
 |
| One of the most popular dance halls in Texas. And the oldest. |
 |
| Great restaurant that used to be an old cotton gin. Overlooks the Guadalupe River. |
 |
| Everyone is happy. :) |
 |
| Cheers! To a great vacation. |
 |
| Chillin' outside of the wine tasting room. |
 |
| Front porch of the Grapevine wine tasting room. |
 |
| Lots of cute shops with sparklies. |
 |
| True. True. |
 |
| And the sun goes down over Canyon Lake. The view from the pool. |
 |
| Mexican martini, por favor. |
 |
| Redfish with a crawfish sauce and sauteed veggies. Yum!! |
 |
| Rachel's tiramisu |
 |
| Chuck and I split a creme brulee. His first one. :) |
It was a great day. I wish you could have been there to share it with us. Nice to get away from all your troubles and just relax. Watching the kids have a good time is always one of the best parts of the trip.
Tomorrow: Part 2: Adventure!
Thank you! I enjoyed that vicarious vacation... though I probably would've investigated the tub ;)

Looks like great fun! You sure do know how to party!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a FAB time was had by all! Can't wait for the next parts.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Do you even realize how tiny you look in photos now?
I LOVE the Gristmill!! We eat there every time we head down south!
ReplyDeleteNice pics. And I love the "Diet" sign! I'm glad you got to enjoy your time.
ReplyDeleteSweeeet! This looks like such a fun time. I love the pool pics and vids!
ReplyDeleteSwimming does make me really hungry. Sometimes when I get back from the pool I don't even bother to take my suit off before whipping up a protein shake.
Can't wait for Part 2.
What a great vacation! Jeff always stops at Buc-ees on his way to San Antonio - I've never been but feel I must, now. And Gruene is so pretty. We used to go there quite often - it's just such a nice throwback to a quaint way of life.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pool pictures!
What a great trip! Love all of the pictures. I am jealous that it is warm enough to go swimming there! Can't wait for Part 2!
