Hill Country

We had a great time in the Hill Country this past weekend! We got up around 6:45 AM on Saturday and we were on the road by 7:15 AM. We stopped to fill the gas tank up and we were on our way. We went backroads and had a nice drive until we somehow missed a road.....LOL We ended up in Austin on 35 and well, you know how that is. They are always doing construction, so we were all detoured off of 35 on the South side of Austin, but honestly it didn't take long at all and our journey continued. We made it to the Hill Country Resort and rested a little before we went downtown. It was pretty hot down there, so we waited for the heat of the day to pass. We got to downtown around 5:30 PM and walked around. Since I had lived in San Antonio before - I knew my way around pretty well! We parked and off we went. We went to the Alamo, the riverwalk, the market, rode the trolley, ate dinner at The County Line (BBQ), and of course rode the riverboats. We got back to our room around 10PM or so and we were pretty tired! We got up on Saturday and started our day. We wanted to go to Guadalupe River State Park (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/guadalupe_river/) and that was beautiful. We hiked for several hours before lunch and then had a picnic overlooking the river. The place was packed with families grilling, swimming, and fishing. We then left there and went through Fredericksburg and continued on till we arrived home last night. We had a really good time even though it was only for 2 days!!! It was definitely worth the 2 days!!!

***Sorry, I only took like 5 pictures the whole trip, so nothing to post***
However, all the places that we visited are online and all you have to do is google them...... :)
