We’re On A Boat!

I’ve recapped my recent trip to Lake Austin a couple times in the last month of Bill’s impromptu trip to Austin. Here are some of my favorite pictures to wrap it all up! We had such a good time out on the lake! These guys are some of the best and most fun to hang out with, bringing together Vermont and New Jersey in Texas! Can’t wait until our next reunion!

“Reunited and it feels so good!” Then we saw this fella trying to fly… I’m pretty sure if I even attempted this I would find my face going straight for the water. Yikes!

Don’t hate me Bill… the funny faces made it online! We’ll look ridiculous together! Awww – there, that’s better! Maybe I should’ve titled this post “Bill” – you’re pretty popular with the camera my friend! Until our next adventures!

The Homes of Lake Austin

7 Replies

Matthew McConaughey, Andy Rodderick and Brooklyn Decker are among an elite list of those who live on Lake Austin. If you haven’t had a chance, taking the boat out on the lake itself is amazing for a day of fishing, boating, relaxing, wake boarding but checking out the homes along the shore just spice things up even more.

This post seemed appropriate for Wordless Wednesday as some of these homes made my jaw drop, left me speechless and made me question what all these people did for a profession. I’ve never seen so many infinity pools all lined up in a row. Maybe it’s growing up in the country but I’m still flabbergasted when I see homes this big.

If waterfront isn’t your cup of tea, cliffside is another option. Some even come with these lifts to carry down your belongings.

This, just looks like a whole lot of fun!

My favorite boat dock / garage:

Any favorites? Do you have an area like this near you?

Hall’s Pumpkin Farm & Corn Maze

6 Replies

Each fall, Hall’s Pumpkin Farm and Corn Maze in Grapevine, Texas opens their gates to hundreds of visitors coming to take photos and to enjoy some fall country activities within a huge metroplex of an area. Run by a family, it’s a place for families and friends to congregate and enjoy some fun fall activities.

While my friends were up from Austin, we headed over to check out the corn maze. For a bunch of “Yankees” in the South, it’s the closest thing we can get to a real fall festival like we have back home.

First up – the corn maze. Spread across two acres, you can get lost and you can’t cheat!

Make sure to bring your camera to check out all the other items available. Tons of areas set up for the kids and photo opportunities. Purchase a pumpkin or two or even go on a hayride!

Finally, don’t forget to check out the concessions for some cider, popcorn and other refreshments!

Beware, it’s really busy on the weekends! If you can swing it, I would suggest going during the week. Either way, you are sure to have some great photos and great memories!

Additional Info: Corn Maze: $5
General Admission / Parking: $0
Hay Rides: $2
Bring your camera as there’s lot of decorations for the kids.
Additional Costs: Drinks, Food, Pumpkins, Concessions.
