The CoffeeShop Blog: Happy Thanksgiving!!!


Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful day planned with loved ones. It is going to be pretty quiet here as both of my sisters are out-of-town this year. Heather not by choice, her entire family is sick with a cold. But I get to spend the day with Paul, the boys, and my parents so it is going to be nice.

My action and design packs are on sale this weekend, check them out! These packs allow me to post freebies on my blog, so thank you for supporting a small woman-own business. 

I haven’t been around much since we have been trying to stay caught up with school before Christmas and we took a little trip to Fredericksburg, TX.  My mom traveled with us and Paul met us for two days. It is a four hour drive to get there, but worth it since it is such a beautiful part of Texas.

We hiked at Pedernales Falls.

The boys had a blast climbing all of the rocks and skipping stones in the water.

It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day.

We went to a Pacific War re-enactment. This is the flamethrower guy.

And yes, his flamethrower is real! If you ever get a chance to go to Fredericksburg, be sure to also check out the Pacific War museum, it is incredible. 

Well, my mother and boys were there also. I LOVE this photo! We were playing gin and my mom is happy as always, Paul is hilarious and a complete hottie, Duke is embarrassed, and Imp is trying not to laugh. Every time we go out we try to pack some cards or dominoes. 

I can’t believe how many wineries are in this area.  There are over 50, many built just the last few years. Every time we go there we see several new ones. We are light-weights so we can only go to one winery a weekend. 😉 
Our hotel, the Inn at Barron’s Creek, has a parking lot where the wine buses shuttle people to the wineries. I was thinking this was such a great idea so no one drinks and drives, until I saw them drop all of the inebriated people off in the evening and the ones not staying locally stumbled off to their cars to drive home. People, don’t drink and drive!!!

Of course we went hiking at my favorite park, Enchanted Rock.

Imp was having a blast, but for some reason his photo-face always looks constipated.

It was cool and the fall colors were spectacular. And we didn’t see one snake, so Paul was happy.

And we took our traditional Turkey Pass Trail photo. For some reason Paul loves to have his photo taken here, go figure. 

I didn’t want to leave! But no worries, I am sure we will go back soon. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and long weekend!!!
