My apologies for a quiet blog this August. Things have been very busy around here. We'll be launching our new site soon, debuting new products and announcing our Holiday Mini's - so stay tuned. But, in the meantime, I wanted to share just a few pictures of the last Texas Weekend Getaway for the summer.
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I love the sun - so it is only fitting that the last Texas Getaway would be in the direction of more sun and heat. We drove 12 hours out West to embrace the beautiful mountain deserts of Big Bend.
It was a VERY long drive. The perfect drive to clear your head, reconnect and just take it the beauty of the Texas highway.
Somewhere between here and there.
We finally arrive at our destination. Just in time for a hike or two.
We decided to do two of my favorite hikes. The first one was down towards the Rio Grande River, through an old abandoned River Resort.
It was HOT - but the views were breathtaking.
We then drove up to the Chisos Mountain Basin for our second hike. Check out that sun.
This hike is called "The Window" hike and it is 2.5 miles into the mountains. See that "V"? That's where we hiked!
And, here it is - the "V" - otherwise known as "the window". I was too afraid to get any closer than this. The view was just stunning.
Finally, it was time to check-in at our hotel, the Lajitas Resort. It's the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking in the Texas heat.
Check out the view from the hotel bar, the Thirsty Goat Saloon.
I think we deserve one of these! :)
Hope you all are having a fantastic summer! I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner....
