Weekend fun in South Texas


I have a lot of "favorite places" in Texas, but this weekend I added one to the list and it's definitely in the top 5! Who would imagine it would be Marble Falls?? Well, more specifically... Horseshoe Bay.

Some good friends of ours, John & Jennifer, invited us to tag along with them on a mini-vacation at the Horseshoe Bay Marriott resort. When we found out that we could go using Collin's Marriott points he's accumulated through work travel instead of footing the bill for lodging, there was NO doubt about it! We were in. The weekend was rounded out with good food from local dives (including an amazing BBQ joint in Glen Rose on the drive down) and hours of relaxing by the pool while the boys played 18 holes. The only complaint we had was that it all went too quickly. We could have stayed an extra day or two without running out of things to do. Guess we'll just have to go back! :)

Special thanks to Mom & Dad for keeping the girls this weekend, and to Nana for watching them Saturday night while Mom & Dad went to a wedding! The girls had just as much fun as we did, it seemed! And a big thanks to the Misemers for inviting us along. We will now be saving every last penny to make that the destination for our next family vacation. (Super family-friendly place!) We'll find a way to make it back... hopefully sooner rather than later!
