The Hill Country

Almost a year ago now, Dave won a free hotel stay. And, we still haven't used it yet! So, this evening on our long family walk, Dave and I decided that we are going to use our free hotel stay and visit the Hill Country near Houston. We've heard many wonderful things about the beauty of this nearby land, and want to stay true to our commitment to explore Texas as much as we possibly can. We plan to be as thrifty as possible by packing a cooler full of home-made goodies and only being gone one night (the night that's paid for). We also thought it would be fun to rent a bird sighting book from our local library so that we can record what birds we see on our sight seeing. Hopefully it will be fun and educational for all of us! Seeing as how my love language is quality time, I am really, really looking forward to this little family get away. I won't divulge the exact date of our departure over the world wide web, but I will let you know when we've come back! Happy summer get aways to all of you! -Amber
