Our Thanksgiving

We left home on Thanksgiving morning, headed for Comfort, TX. We planned on staying at a Bed and Breakfast there, but we just couldn't find it. So, we decided to drive towards Blanco, which was what we had also planned on doing anyway. We wanted to drive by the places that hold special memories for us, see the beautiful countryside (which was VERY dry) and maybe have a nice Thanksgiving meal at a Cracker Barrel somewhere (on Rebeca's suggestion). We got to Blanco and drove to Tejas Trails, where we used to spend a lot of time 32 years ago. We took a few pictures, reminisced about so long ago, and enjoyed some tuna and crackers in the car. The place, of course, is a lot different now, it's all fenced off and there are more structures nearby.

From there, we drove to Wimberley and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along River Road. We didn't see any places to stay there in Wimberley, so we figured we'd head on to San Marcos, eat at Cracker Barrel and then head back to San Antonio. As we were headed out of Wimberley, we passed Mountain View Lodge and on a whim, turned around to see if they had any vacancies. Amazingly enough, they had two rooms left so we took one! The view was beautiful from our room, and after checking in, we promptly took a walk on their nature trail, which was very interesting - it even had dinosaur tracks!

After walking the trail we drove to San Marcos, had a great Thanksgiving meal and then headed back to the lodge and took it easy the rest of the evening.
The next morning we had breakfast at the Wimberley Cafe, and there was a place close to the Wimberley Cafe where they were selling those wooden/metal animal sculptures. I could not BELIEVE they had a platypus there and wanted to, but didn't dare look at the price. Some of the other smaller things were over $600 so...... But they were all so precious.

We had a wonderful and very memorable Thanksgiving.
