Our Texas Vacation

Sorry for the long length of time between our posts. However, we have a reasonably good excuse...vacation. Tim finished his Turbo Hebrew class on Friday, Aug. 8 and we left for vacation the next morning. Last week was the only week we would be able to take a full week's vacation, and we did just that. We decided to stay in Texas and see some of the beauty that is in our backyard. Not literally in our back yard because that is quite dry and ugly at the moment. We had to drive 3 hours South/Southwest. We visited several towns within the Texas Hill Country (Burnet, Buchanan Lake, Enchanted Rock, Fredericksburg, Hunt, Boerne, Canyon Lake, Wimberley), San Antonio, and Austin. Here are some photo highlights of the trip.Hiking alongside Buchanan Lake at Canyon of the Eagles.

Hiking at Enchanted Rock


Enjoying German food (bratwurst and schnitzel) in Fredericksburg


The massive slide at Mo Ranch in Hunt, TX (enjoy Tim's facial expression; in my picture which is not posted for a reason, it looks like I am about to pop several veins in my neck)


Sunset at the Chapel on the Hill at Mo Ranch


Celebrating our 3rd Anniversary at Boudro's on the Riverwalk in San Antonio


The Alamo!!!


The Texas Capitol in Austin; Texas does everything HUGE


Oasis Restaurant on Lake Travis outside of Austin


It was nice to see Texas sites outside the DFW area. Despite the heat and lack of rain, there are some truly beautiful places. If you ever need a Central Texas travel itinerary, let us know!

hey, guys. just had a minute to catch up on your blogs. sounds like you had a great end to your summer fun. seeing the pictures of your "tour de Texas" brought back lots of fond memories. we are all doing well. davis got off to a very rough start with middle school and we decided that the bottom line was that God was telling us that powell middle was not the best environment for him so i am going to homeshool him this year and re-evaluate next year. God knows best and we are trusting that and leaning not on our own undertanding. mallory is off to a great start with school and loving her teacher...if only life could stay so simple! i'm sure you have heard that the construction project is almost complete...PTL!!!! it will be nice to see my husband more often and for him to not come home and collapse into his recliner! all in all...it has gone GREAT! well...that about sums it up for the hearn home...oh, yeah, i'm doing well too. miss you and hope you have a great fall. take care....lori
