This antique store is a regular stop for us. It's clean, smells great, has a great selection of cool stuff and their prices beat the heck out of the other stores in the surrounding areas! Don't be fooled by the small storefront, it's very large and deep and features over 30 vendors!

Here's the quick-and-dirty: 1. The namesake geologic feature is impressive. I was taken aback when we reached it, surprised by its magnitude. Take time to explore what you can, depending on the water levels. 2. The river is everything a Central Texas waterway should be: Cool and relatively shallow, providing an excellent opportunity to laze the day away. Be prepared to hike to it, though -- even the designated swimming area has a long stairway and trail leading to it. 3. The campgrounds are some of the nicest at a Texas state park, thanks to a revamp a few years ago. The sites have sheltered picnic tables and fire rings (buy wood from the camp host). The sites are near each other, but most of them are at least somewhat wooded so you still get a sense of seclusion and privacy. The bathrooms are well-lit and kept clean. 4. The facilities crew does a really good job keeping up the maintenance. Nothing seemed dirty or broken. 5. The sky out there is DARK. You can see the Milky Way on a clear night. That's hard to find less than an hour from a large city. 6. One final note: I hope you can appreciate being serenaded by the smooth howl from a chorus of coyotes. Their brays echo through the canyons, providing an eerie ambience during the dead of night.

There were thirteen of us that toured the winery today. We’ve been to a lot of The so called Vineyards around Fredericksburg. This little family owned vineyard had nine acres of all different kinds of grapes. The owner Margaret was awesome in educating us on so many of the steps and hard work it takes to make a great glass of wine. The property is beautiful. You can bring a picnic lunch and sit in the shade while you enjoy a glass of wine. Well worth the $30 we each paid for this tour and tasting. Thank you Margaret! We will come again.
