Spring in Austin

Back in Austin and Spring is in the air! That means the bluebells of Texas are out in all their glory.




And the brightly colored birds are out in the garden!




Perfect weather for hiking near Hamilton pool







We took a trip to see the painted churches of Texas. These churches are so elaborately decorated, even the columns are painted to look like they are made of marble.






We stopped by Shiner (a popular brand of beer in Texas) for a spot of beer tasting.




We visited the place Round Rock near Austin, no prizes for why it was named so! The actual round rock still exists. It was used as a marker for shallow water for the old cattle drives to cross, coming in and out of Austin.




And of course it is also the hockey season this time of year. An opportunity Stevie would never miss! These photos are courtesy of 'Photography by Ed Matthews'!








Next stop will be Fort Walton Beach, Florida!!

Location:Austin, Texas
