New Braunfels, Texas River Trip!

Friday morning I left for the New Braunfels area to go visit my friend Kimberly and her mom Sandy. Sandy lives about 5 minutes from the river so during the summer time we always love to go tubing! Friday evening Kimberly, her mom, her brother Jason, sister in-law Chrystina, nephew Michael, and I all went to go eat this Mexican Restaurant called Mamacitas. Afterwards, we all went to Chrystina and Jason's new house to visit.

Kimberly's little nephew Michael and I. He is soo cute! His favorite song right now is Poker Face. Ha!

Saturday morning we got up to go tubing down the Guadalupe River. It was sooo hot outside so the water felt really good!!! Since it has not rained much this summer the river was very low and slow in some areas. We managed to only lose our flip flops on the float...thank God! I actually didn't take any pictures of us floating because I didn't want to mess my camera up! Afterwards, we went and ate at this restaurant called Daisy Dukes that is across the street from the tubing place.

Love the name! We have a Daisy Dukes in College Station too but it's not the same.


Today we went to Gruene before I left. The little town of Gruene has tons of little shops and restaurants that are right by the river. Have ya'll ever been there? We ate at this restaurant called the Gristmill....which is built around tons of trees. It is really pretty and the food was good! I love Gruene, Texas it so neat!

I wanted to take a picture of the famous Gruene Hall while we were there. It is the oldest dance hall in Texas. Roger Creager was playing at Gruene Hall Saturday but it was sold out. I think some movies have been filmed at the dance hall too.


In front of Gruene Hall with this crazy guy that wanted a picture with us. Ha!
We had a great weekend! I always love going to that part of Texas! Hope your weekend was just as good!
