Saturday, we wanted an adventure away from the Memorial Day weekend craziness. So, after lunch at Pita Fusion (OMG was it GOOD!), we drove out to a National Wildlife Refuge near Burnet.

On the last day of our Mini-vacay, we were forced to get up early and check out of our cabin so we could make… The morning Gorge tour was a bit early for me: 9am. The people there were clearly more “morning” than I am. But, with the help of caffeine, and after we finished […]
(We wrapped up the evening of Mini-vacay Day One with a game of Thunderstone, where E decidedly kicked my ass. We were asleep before 11pm…ready to rest up for our day on the water.) …but the water outing was not meant to be. Watercraft rentals were $70-100/hour and none of those were for sailboats. So, […]
