River Trip 2010...

What a FABulous trio with a FABulous group of friends. This is an annual trip for Andy and I and its one of our favorite get-away’s. There is just something about the “Hill Country” and especially the Guadalupe and Comal rivers. It’s like they are on their own kind of island time or something. People are friendly, they smile, they wave, they have a good ol’ Texan time and that’s just what we like so much about this trip. This year we went our dear friends The Morrow’s. They have a pull behind camper that they were kind enough to let us use. We hit the road early on Friday morning and returned late Sunday afternoon. Of course...no road trip would be complete without a "quick stop" into an auto repair shop. Luckily we had made a stop which prompted the boys to notice that there were smoking bearings on one of the wheels. Not knowing what the damage was, we didnt want to take a risk so we pulled into the nearest auto garage. The people at this place...

deserve a huge pat on the back. They went out of their way for us to get us back on the road for less than 200 dollars!!! Luck was on our side that day because finding the EXACT parts for that specific kind of trailer could have been next to IMPOSSIBLE.

The campgrounds were PERFECT. I recommend you check them out if you are ever in the market for a FABulous campsite right on the water. We stayed at the Rainbow Camp Ground right off River Road. Our location on the property was probably the VERY best spot there was. We opened our camper door and all we could see was this…

Our campsite was pretty cozy as well...

The staff was SUPER friendly and catered to us all weekend long and the location on the Guadalupe can’t be beat. We befriended the owner while we were there and talked him into putting us on the books for the exact same spot, the exact same weekend in June, for 2011 and we are already looking forward to it.

The water was COLD…but the Texas heat made it very bearable!!! We made hot dogs one night, and fajitas the other…and snacked the whole time in between!!! It was GREAT!!! Here are the pics from the trip...YES there are a ton...but its too hard to choose which ones to post, so I just post them all instead :-)

Friends...

It might have taken us ALL day to get there...but it was WORTH it :-)

Me and my sweet Johanna...

We were really hungry after our first morning float...I brought yummy homemade chicken salad...

The Boys...

The Girls...

Just hanging out by the river...

On our way home...we all wanted to stop for some Fredricksburg peaches!!! They are one of Grammy and Poppy's favorite things...and we owed them something sweet for taking care of Jolea girl while we were away...They are quite sweet and quite delicious too...

YUM...

After our stop for peaches we decided to hit this sweet little spot for burgers and sandwiches...

The food was reasonably priced and PRETTY good. The atmosphere was awesome...

*WARNING* the following pictures contain me and one of my besties without one single stitch of make-up...EEKS...don't judge us...

I do love him...

Headed on home...

The summertime river trip is something Andy and I always look forward too. I hope it is something we can continue to do for many years to come. One of these days we are gonna put that sweet girl in a tube and she will float right along side us...I know she will LOVE it. A special "Thanks" to C.J. and Johanna for coming along with us and providing us with a nice and cool, comfy place to rest our heads. We love ya'll.
