Summer Adventure #1: Hill Country Road-trip!

Road trip through the Hill Country! We took off early on a Sunday up Highway 71, a direction we hadn't gone before, and followed the Lower Colorado river lake chains all the way up...past Lady Bird Lake (in downtown Austin) and Lake Austin...up past the way-low Lake Travis and stretchy Lake LBJ up to Lake Buchanan. I never realized how close these lakes are together, only thinking Lake Travis was the nearest lake.

We took Nigel on this adventure - he did well


Stopped to check out and test-drive a vintage MG


Didn't find any Marble Falls in Marble Falls, TX, but found where lots of our granite countertops come from!


Literally, a train hotel.


If we were to "go country" we found Ryan's hair salon...

We ended it all back in Austin with a beer and pizza at Homeslice (click here for our view). So great to see what's right outside your own door!

Tschüß!
