Wednesday, April 28, 2010 15th Anniversay Camping Weekend

Last week was mine & Craig's 15th anniversary. We headed out on Wednesday for a long weekend of camping, relaxing, & amusement.

The first 2 nights we stayed at Palmetto State Park. It was swampy, lush, & beautiful.

















































Thursday night we made a huge grill out dinner with steak & chicken kebabs, portabello mushrooms, and asparagus.























We went on a few day hikes & did some geocaching. I found 2 caches on Thursday. We ran across a baby rattler on Friday.



































































The next 3 nights we stayed at Landa RV park right on the Comal River in New Braunfels, Tx. We saw a 6 foot water mocassin swimming right behind our campsite. We swam in the river quite a bit & I went skinny dipping one night. The trains were loud as usual.
While there, we went to the Snake Farm, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Schlitterbahn, Landa Park, & also ate at the Gristmill in Gruene, Tx twice.







































































































































































It was a pretty damn good anniversary. I love ya babe!

Tuesday, September 08, 2009 Tubes, Slides, Snakes & Cowpokes

Craig & I drove down to New Braunfels a couple weekends ago. Went tubing on the Comal River, went to Schlitterbahn, the Snake Farm, ate at the Gristmill. Then of all places, we end up at a Gay Rodeo afterparty at a Quality Inn. That was fucking hilarious.


Tuesday, April 28, 2009 14th Anniversary Part 2

We celebrated our anniversary again this past weekend. This time we drove down to New Braunfels, Tx. W took our camper & stayed at Landa RV Park. On Saturday we went to Schlitterbahn. We had way too much fun, as you can see from the videos below.





Later that night we ate at The Gristmill Restaurant in Gruene, Tx. Awesome food & atmosphere. We go there at least once a year, if not more.





On Sunday we went tubing down the Comal River. It was a bitty chilly & overcast, but I still managed to get a light sunburn. I had 2 incidents on the river that day, both within 5 minutes of eachother. I went down the first tube chute & crashed into a kayaker. Then right after that, I went over a small fall & got sucked underwater about 15 feet away & my tube was stuck in the fall undercurrent. I kept trying to creep my way back to it, but the current was too strong. A nearby kayaker came by & went over the fall to rescue my tube.






On the way home we stopped back in Gruene & ate lunch at The Gristmill again. I also got these awesome shoes called Fivefingers:
