How can it go from 87 degrees to 59 degrees is just 12 hours? This has happened twice since we have been in Texas. Once, while we were in Corpus Christi and now again here in Blanco, Texas. Yesterday we tubed the Guadalupe River and it was amazing...nice and warm.

Last night when I went to bed the air conditioner was on. I woke this morning and had to get the heater out. It is just 59 Degrees and wont be back into the 80's for a few more days. Yucky. I feel for you guys up there in South Dakota and Montana getting the snow.
Since we have been here we have taken a few day trips. On Monday, we decided to go to Fredericksburg Texas. We thought it was going to be a small German like town. Nope ! It was just just like any other small Texas town. Not much there. Yes, it does have some German flair but nothing like we thought. It is not Levenworth, Washington that's for sure. I guess it's better not to have expectations. We wouldn't go back there again.

Blanco Texas State Park is fantastic. Highly recommend this place. The campground is wooded with large shade trees and there is bass fishing at your door step. A beautiful park like setting. You can even rent tubes, kayaks and canoes at the State Park Store.

We tried to stay here a little longer but the park is going to be full this weekend. We wanted to see my niece Sheila here plus we didn't want to drive into the Dallas/Fort Worth area on a Friday. Maybe we will find a place to park Friday afternoon then go into Dallas/Fort Worth Saturday morning.
Yesterday we decided to take a day trip to Canyon City to Tube the Guadalupe River. Glad we did ! We did the Horseshoe loop. It takes about two hours and the water was nice with lots of wildlife. Briana could even do this river without dying..lol

On Tuesday we went to Hamilton Pool Reserve that Brent recommended. Really nice but the pool is off limits to swimming right now due to a recent flood that washed a lot of vegetation into the pool. You have to hike about and half mile along a trail to get there, Andy had no problem. Her broken toe is getting better.

| Never without her water bottle...I mean "NEVER" lol |

One thing you can say about Texas people...they sure like their Texas State Flag. Never been in a state where people display their state flag as much. I think it is cool !
Tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to the Texas Hill Country. What a beautiful place !
