Marble Falls Texas

Two weekends in a row of traveling is coming to an end. The next two weekends are jammed packed with stuff around the DFW area. May is a busy month for us. And June doesn't miss a beat either! Five birthdays, fathers day, I have a VIP in-service, my brother is coming to visit, josh has his four or five day training with the Texas State Guard, and well celebrate a full year Coast Guard free :-)

So this weekend we met my family in Marble Falls Texas. It's a small town of 6000 people. They have a Walmart, an HEB, a Home Depot and a bunch of restaurants-- one of which is famous for Pie!! They had 30 types of pies!!

The main attraction in this town is the Colorado River. Not to be confused with THE Colorado river that runs through the more western side of the United States. Weird that they named it the same!

My parents are looking at a plot of land around this city for there retirement home. It's not a bad place!
















We spent Saturday in the much more famous town of Fredericksburg. That's a about an hour drive. This place is a mid-lifers dream city. Lots of shopping, walking, and living the slow life. I didn't mind it but Josh and Troy had minimal fun!

Here are the boots I found that I REALLY want...  I'll have to find a side job as they are priced at 550.00!!!  But they are super hot!!

Saturday afternoon we went driving up in the hills looking at land plots. Troy fell asleep. I think I heard the banjos from Deliverance. Josh laughed at us "city folk" taking pictures in hay fields and commenting about how big the bugs are. I said "I already don't like this place because there are no bars". I was looking at my cell phone at the time. But my family laughed as it sounded like I was upset that no bars, as in the place you frequent when you need to get your drink on, where not found. Ha, who cares about that I need cellular bars!!! But really, wouldn't THIS freak you out a little? What are those exactly?



All in all we had a good time and laughed. Had breakfast poolside with my dad this morning, lunch with my family in Austin and are now on the road home! On I35 North... With plenty of cell phone bars.. And 4G network!!! Ahhhh!!
