Well, I'm getting my posts a little out of order, but I finally got the pictures from our trip on my computer. Hannah's Tourette Syndrome Camp happened to fall on our anniversary weekend. We didn't want to drive all the way back home just to pick her up again in a day and a half, so we found somewhere nearby to go. She was in Burton, Tx so we went to Bastrop which is about an hour away. We stayed in a cute little B&B right by the Colorado River. Our room was very nice and we even had our own private sunroom. Our breakfast was served in our room, so we ate in the sunroom and enjoyed some peace and quiet. We were only a couple of blocks from downtown so we strolled down the trail by the river and walked across a footbridge that spans the river. We stopped at an interesting place for lunch downtown. It was called Cindy's and it is actually a second location of a biker bar down the road. That one is called Cindy's Gone Hog Wild. Their logo has a picture of a hog riding a "hog". Too funny! Anyway, when we walked in it felt like a scene from the movie "Wild Hogs" when everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads toward the door. At first, I felt really out of place and not just because I was only drinking Diet Coke. Turns out this "bar" had shuffleboard and there was no smoking allowed inside. Rough place!
That afternoon we went on a 6 mile kayaking trip down the Colorado River. It was fun but a lot of work. We decided that we won't get a tandem kayak next time. At times it seemed a little more like jousting than paddling, although I think Ky did that just to aggrivate me. There are so many dams on that river that there is very little current and we were going into the wind the whole time. Ky's competitive nature came out when we caught up with the family that put in about 30 minutes before us. He just had to pass them and get to the pick up place first, and we did. (Mostly because their teenagers kept getting out of the kayaks and swimming.)
We had dinner at a nice restaurant downtown and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the B&B. Hannah is really looking forward to going to camp again next year and we're looking forward to finding a new fun place to go for our anniversary while she's there.
