Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Visiting the Hill Country Lavender farm was one of the few spontaneous things that we did on our trip to Wimberley. We drove past it on the way to a state park for hiking and decided to stop by on the way back to the cabin. We did make sure to check the website for
In addition to wineries the Texas Hill Country has a number of breweries and we checked out Middleton Brewing. Their rooftop patio is the perfect place to enjoy a beer along with a countryside view. Keltin and I enjoyed a beer flight. All of them were delicious but it was a bit too hot out
For this trip we stayed in a Getaway Cabin, these are tiny cabins meant to help you recharge and it was a perfect escape. A place to read and write and catch up on sleep. A place to actually enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and not just down it as fuel for
Keltin and I had some downtime before we could check into our cabin so we decided to explore the main square in San Marcos. Many of the shops and restaurants were closed but the street art was still fantastic. INSTAGRAM│FACEBOOK│TWITTER│YOUTUBE

When I was growing up my dad took my sisters and me to the National Grasslands on the weekends to ride horses. With shelter-in-place lifted we wanted to get out but still stay away from people and the grasslands are a great place to do so. It is $10 per vehicle to park at the
A new little restaurant opened in Grapevine. Keltin and I love supporting local and decided to give it a try for brunch one morning. Brew and Batter is all about coffee and delicious waffles. Chilling on their patio I enjoyed a nice Rose Cold Brew while Keltin had the Americano. The cold brew was different
We are so happy to be able to get out and hike again! Trophy Club Park was not the trail that we intended to explore the day we did. On a drive earlier in the week to make sure the battery in Keltin’s car didn’t die we found a trailhead in Southlake, TX. Of course
