Hello. I owe you a post from my trip to hill country for spring break. Matt and I made somewhat last minute plans to take a road trip, and ended up booking 4 nights at Travassa Austin. We left after waking up on Thursday, and stopped at a classic bbq joint in Belton for lunch. We ordered the combo plate with pulled pork and brisket from Millers, and loved every bit of it (well, maybe not the onions:) We arrived…

Hi Friends, Happy spring and happy belated birthday to my mom! I’m enjoying some time off from work for spring break, and it’s been nice hanging out at home.

We drove down on Friday evening. I sang country songs at the top of my lungs while…
Matt and I drove down to Fredericksburg, Texas for two nights to relax and check out the hill country! Sometimes I have trouble taking it easy when we go on vacation because we plan so much and want to hit all the cool restaurants and bars. But this was the first trip in a long time that felt like a true getaway. We rented a little cottage and really enjoyed the outdoor space. The hill country was so peaceful, and…
