Life has been so busy of late.... and my blog (not to mention my photography) have fallen somewhat silent as a result. This past weekend Laura and I were able to head to South Texas and enjoy the beauty of nature and fellowship with friends. We drove to Dallas, picked up 3 friends there and then headed South. Our first stop: Hamilton's Pool near Dripping Springs.

 |
| It was pretty amazing - you can even swim there when the weather's warm! |
 |
| short hike to-and-from the pool |
Our house was amazing. We found time here for conversation, big breakfasts, bible study and fellowship.
 |
| We stayed in Seguin - in this awesome Tree House! |
On Friday we ventured over to San Antonio where we took in The Alamo (cross one off the bucket list), San Jose Mission and the Riverwalk.
 |
| And no, we weren't trying to match. :) |
 |
| San Jose Mission - my favorite..... and that's saying something since I've ALWAYS wanted to go to the Alamo. |
 |
| Fun to catch up with Meagan - she flew in from Minnesota to be with us! |
 |
| Love this one of Haylee and Laura |

| The Riverwalk |

| We were busy snapping pictures, chatting - and bringing up the end of the line! |

On Saturday we packed up and went to Austin for a bit - Micah gave us a tour of the Capitol and we met up with Morgan and Emily for lunch before bidding farewell and heading back to the Dallas area for the night.

Sunday we went to church with friends and after lunch had to say our final goodbyes. It was a great weekend.

It was so nice to have a little time away. A time to reflect. A time to enjoy God's creation. A time to embrace history. A time to fellowship. A time to take pictures. Until next time.....
Such fun memories. Love you, Rachel!
