Tones and I celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary next week. We took a "24 hour staycation" to Georgetown since I needed to stay close for potential clients. Hard to believe we only had 27 hours away-- it felt like a real getaway! We left at noon and drove up to Leander to hike along the San Gabriel River trail and saw the little known dinosaur tracks!
After a great hike and a picnic, we headed to check in at our cabin at Angel Springs in Georgetown. We enjoyed the sitting porch, view of the bluebonnets, read and relaxed. After a quick shower we headed out to eat at El Monumento ($4 happy hour margaritas were delightful) and enjoyed a beautiful evening view of the San Gabriel River. After dinner we walked to the square and hung out at Roots for some live blues. We even got in a few dances!
The next morning after a delicious breakfast at the Monument Cafe we headed out on our bikes... we explored the Blue Hole, the San Gabriel river area, downtown Georgetown and found the famous RED POPPIES in bloom everywhere! We bought pizza and salad at 600 Degrees and took our picnic back to the Blue Hole to enjoy the rest of our afternoon lazily sunning. By the time we got home at 3pm, I felt like I had been away for a whole weekend, not just a day.
Tones, thanks for 27 great years together (we've known each other for almost 29 years). We've built a wonderful life, had two kids who have turned into amazing adults. Who knew when we ran off to Vegas all those years ago this is what we'd be doing now!!! I love you!
