buerglers' bow-heads: Girls Trip/ Family Trip 2011

Well we had a wonderful time on our trip this year. Elle, Lily, Meemom and I piled in a perfectly packed to the max car and headed up to the hill country. We left on Tuesday AM after some last minute errands (including a trip to Specs for some hooch). We arrived in Wimberley laft afternnon and picked up our key to the cabin. Before heading out to the cabin on Smith Creek (which is currently dried up) we decided to eat in town. We chose the Burger Barn which was right across the street from the property management place. It was pretty good and we were happy to be out of the car. Although, when Meemom asked where the restroom was she was informed that there was only a port o potty outside. WTF, is this even legal. We then took Elle to DQ to get her first ever dip cone. She loved it. We headed to the cabin which didn't dissapoint. We stayed in the other cabin last year and we love the place. If you want to pretend like you are roughing it this is the place to be. Full kitchen, 2 bedroom, hot tub, big porches, all amenities just in the beautiful boonies. Wednesday we got up and headed to the outlet mall where we saw A BUNCH OF CRAP. Meemom and I have never not found great stuff at the outlet mall but it was a real dissapointment but easy on the pocket book. We then hit up Luby's! The girls only have so long for shopping etc before much needed naps. We love the proximity of Wimberley to everything else. Thursday we did some more shopping and made a quick unplanned trip into Gruene. Elle let me shop for a little while and then we hit the store and headed home. The boys joined us on Friday and we decided to head into Gruene for dinner. Elle was super quiet and not acting like herself at all at dinner. She had a temp once we got to the restraunt and wouldn't eat a thing. On the ride home she puked everywhere 4 times.This was the first time she has ever thrown up and it scared her and sucked really badly as we were winding down country roads back to the cabin. Poor poor princess. Finally about 3 or 4 she agreed to eat some pops and drink a little water. We slept in since we didn't sleep at night. Her temp broke and the whole family headed to the blue hole which was amazing! We had a wonderful time checking out the second biggest swimming hole in TX. Elle loved how adventerous her uncles and Daddy are. Meemom and Mommy are so not that way. I am petrified of snakes so I refuse to "explore" the property. We had a great time and can't wait until next year for the next trip.
