We spent July 4th at a fabulous resort in the Hill Country. We had a great time playing, relaxing, and eating (yeah, baby!)
We stayed at the Barton Hill Resort in Austin, with the nicest golf course in Texas.
Of course, we got in some exercise hiking and biking. We didn't realize there would be a swim hole here. Big mistake!
Being the "foodies" that we are, we had to try out the hot spots for good grub. This one didn't disappoint!
We also tried out Hopdoddy's (I believe there is one in Houston now. First try we went to the one on 6th Street and the line was out the door and down the street. After waiting 40 minutes in line and only moving a few yards I got anxious. The hotel was shooting off 4th of July fireworks and I wanted to see them, so we went next door for some "street tacos" (not very good) and headed back to the hotel for a fabulous fireworks display.
We talked to the staff at the hotel for advice. When we told her we had been to the Hopdoddy's on 6th street, she said, since that's where the "hip" people go, it would be much more crowded. (apparently we're hip!) So we tried a different location the next night. Still a long wait, but worth it!
Although it was only a long weekend, we had a great time, and can't wait for our next get-away!
(That will be September in New Jersey for the triathlon)
