我超期待这次旅行！
我们一直忙着为别人做各种项目，是时候停下来，好好享受属于自己的时光，一起创造家庭回忆了……
还有什么地方比德克萨斯丘陵之乡更合适呢？
小时候，我每年夏天都和家人去那里，这次真想再变回那个无忧无虑的小女孩。
我们成长过程中，常常住在德克萨斯州的Wimberley。
小时候我就梦想着长大后能住在那里——也许在河边某座石头房子里安度晚年……
也许总有一天会实现。
在我心里，德克萨斯州Wimberley真是如天堂一般。
我们前两晚住在Cypress Creek小屋……
太棒了！真的有种回家的感觉……

小屋附近就有一条小溪。
我们还在溪里蹚水玩了一会儿……
蹚完水、沿溪散步之后，我们去了7-A Ranch Resort放松一下，顺便拍些照片。我小时候每次来都住这里。它被布置成一座老西部风格小镇，非常有趣！里面还有游戏厅和冰淇淋店。不过我最爱的，还是马路对面那条Blanco河！我小时候常在河水里玩耍，这次也迫不及待想去亲近它……

但先来几张时尚达人照吧！……
在7-A度假区四处走走……

| 女儿们站在小教堂前……我从小梦想着在这里举行婚礼。 |
好了！脱掉鞋子……该下Blanco河啦！让双脚泡一泡，甚至整个屁股都浸进去吧！
我们其实没穿泳装……但最后还是湿透了。泳衣？早忘到脑后啦！
我们离开后，在Wimberley市中心沿河逛了一圈，
那是在一天古董寻宝之后。
我们拜访了我最爱的店铺之一——位于San Marcos市中心的Paper Bear Heartworks。店里有很棒的首饰、独特礼品和多元文化风好物。我们给女儿们买了些小玩具，也给我和梅茜挑了些首饰。

长途驱车之后……
我们启程前往假期的第二站：
德克萨斯州Fredricksburg。
我们入住了温馨可爱的Little Acorn民宿。

|
|
| 我们一定要去Auslander餐厅吃饭。我祖母早年曾拥有并经营这家餐厅。如今变化很大，但只是去坐坐，心里想着她，就很温暖。美食依旧很棒！ |
|
|
| 我们进进出出Little Acorn，努力哄小家伙们午睡……结果大多失败。只好再次出门。 |
香农是《Texas Monthly》杂志的忠实读者。Alamo Spring曾登上该杂志“全州最佳汉堡”特辑，被评为全州第三名！他兴奋极了，急着尝一口……结果却有点小失望。
相比之下，Mineola的East Texas Burger Company更好吃……
从Alamo Springs返程途中，我们看到这座漂亮的老建筑。赶紧拍下这张老石屋的照片……真不错！
|
|
| 在Fredricksburg最让我难忘的时光，就是和家人懒洋洋地待在一起。我和玛德琳在门廊上、草地上玩耍。她那时又可爱又活泼…… |
Little Acorn最酷的设施之一，就是那只铸铁脚浴缸。
女儿们在里面玩得不亦乐乎……
我在Little Acorn民宿的留言簿上签了名、画了画，玩得太开心了……算了，随它去吧。
好吧，我们不得不告别丘陵，
启程返回东德克萨斯的松林地带。
这次旅行太开心了！
你也快去玩吧！
以下这些地方一定不能错过……
|
|
| 德克萨斯州San Marcos市Gil's Broiler餐厅……绝赞黑豆汉堡！ |
|
|
| 梅茜、她的新小狗“棉花糖”（Smores），还有香农正准备享用Manske卷——爸爸已经念叨好久啦！ |

I was so excited about taking this trip!
We have been working so hard on projects for other people that it was time to just take some time out for ourselves and make family memories...
What better place is the Texas Hill Country?
I spent so many summers there with my family as a little girl that I wanted to feel like a kid again.
We spent lots of time growing up staying in Wimberley, Texas.
Growing up I wanted to live there when I got to be old in some stone home along the river...
maybe one day.
Wimberley, Texas truly is Heavenly in my mind.

|
| Me and My littlest, Madelynn |
We stayed out first two nights at the Cypress Creek Cottages...
They were wonderful! Truly felt at home...

|
|
| My oldest daughter, Maisy |
Down the road from our cottage was a creek.
We went wading in it some...
|
|
| Maisy, Shannon, and Madelynn |
After wading and walking in the creek, we went to 7-A Ranch Resort to just hang out and take some photos. This is where we always stayed when I was a little girl. It is a really neat place that is set up like an old West town. It also has an arcade and ice cream parlor. But my favorite part is the Blanco River right across the street! I spent plenty of time in that water and was ready to head down to it...

But first, some fashionista photos!...
|
|
| Maddy, Me, and Maisy as Saloon girls. |
Walking around the 7-A grounds...
|
|
| My girls in front of the Chapel... I always dreamed of getting married in this place. |
All righty! Kick of your shoes... it is time to go in the Blanco! Let your feet soak or even your booty!
We were not exactly dressed to soak... but ended up getting pretty wet. Forget swim suits...
|
|
| Maddy found a rock and would not let go... |
|
|
| Heart shaped distress in river rock... |
We left... spend some time downtown WImberley along the river venturing around
after a day of antiquing.
|
|
| Crazy goose scared us a little... |
|
|
| Paper Bear store in San Marcos |
We visited one of my favorite stores called Paper Bear Heartworks downtown SanMarcos. They have great jewelry, unique gifts, and multi-cultural finds. We stocked up on some small toys for the girls and some jewelry for me and Maisy.
|
|
| I absolutely love my Amber ring from PaperBear! |

After a long drive...
We headed to the second half of our vacation in
Fredricksburg, Texas.
We stayed in the Lovely Little Acorn Guest House.

|
|
| spend evenings lounging in the Living room... |
|
|
| We had to eat at the Auslander. My grandmother once owned and ran this restaurant in the old days. It has changed a lot since then, but it was nice to just go for kicks and have her in my heart. Great Food! |
|
|
| We spend a lot of time downtown antiquing and window shopping. |
|
|
| We were in and out of the Little Acorn trying to get the little ones to nap... this was mostly unsuccessful. Leaving again. |
|
|
| "CoverBurger" at Alamo Spring |
Shannon is an avid Texas Monthly reader. The Alamo Spring was in the best burger issue as being the third best burger in the state! He was so excited to get his mouth on this thing... he was a little disappointed.
East Texas Burger Company of Mineola was better...
On the way home from the Alamo Springs, we saw this pretty thing. Got a great photo of this old stone building...Nice!
|
|
| Some of my favorite times in Fredricksburg were just sitting around with the family being lazy. Me and Madelynn played on the porch and in the grass. She was just being so fun and beautiful... |
One of the coolest things in the Little Acorn was the clawfoot tub.
The girls had a lot of fun playing in it...
|
|
| Signing of the Little Acorn Guest book |
I had a little too much fun signing and drawing in the guestbook for little acorn home... oh well.
Well, we had to say goodbye to the hills
and head home to the piney woods of East Texas.
We had so much fun!
You should go and have fun too!
Places you need to go...
|
|
| Mmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,Manske Cinnamon Roll at... |
|
|
| Gil's Broiler in San Marcos, Texas.. Awesome Black Bean Burger! |
|
|
| Maisy, Smores (her new dog), and SHannon about to eat a Manske roll, daddy has been raving about! |
|
|
| We had seen Carlos Moseley's art on Texas Country Reporter. It was amazing! He takes big rocks, little pebbles, or whatever and makes these amazing rock pieces from them. Fredricksburg, Texas. http://www.riverrustic.com/Rock-Art-Book.html |
