Today was the last leg of our 3-day family vacation. Chad got up with Clayton and took him outside to eat and watch the animals so that I could have a few extra minutes of sleep (sweet hubby). Once awake, I packed up our things and got ready for the day. We left our quaint little cottage at around 8:30 to turn in our key. We've definitely found a local get-away that we'll visit often.
After leaving the cottage, we picked up breakfast at Java Ranch on Main Street in Fredericksburg. Then we stopped by a local fruit stand and bought some fresh peaches and a black diamond watermelon. On the way back to Austin, we stopped at Perdenales Falls State Park and hiked down for a dip in the river. When I say hiked, I mean HIKED! It was quite a journey down to the water: 100+ steps and ankle deep sand. Clayton was my 18+ pound weight. By the time we got to our spot I was exhausted. We inched our way into the cold river and had a really nice dip. Clayton really seemed to enjoy the water. Afterwards, we got out to relax on our picnic blanket and realized it was sitting in an ant bed - yikes! We ended up packing up and putting Clayton in the Baby Bjorn for the trek back to the car. I'm not sure who was more exhausted after our hike back to the car, Clayton or me. Clay slept the rest of the way home - 45 minutes.
To top of an already wonderful weekend, Clayton had his first taste of sweet potatoes. They were a big hit. He couldn't stop licking his lips. Also, I made fruit salad and added the peaches we bought outside of Fredericksburg. Yummy!! We also ate the watermelon as an after dinner dessert. We had a really nice weekend!
