Exploring Nature at the Hyatt Lost Pines

Recently, I told you about my visit to the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa. It’s absolutely amazing but what really got me was how nature really embraces you. In honor of Wordless Wednesday, I thought I would share some of the sights that I saw outside on my trip.

There are hiking trails throughout the entire resort, so you could probably walk all day if you wanted to. The next few pictures are from the walking trails along the river which also leads to the walking trails at McKinney Roughs Nature Park.

Need a break? Directly outside the rooms, you will find two gardens filled with wildflowers and benches to sit, relax and soak it all in.

The landscaping is absolutely amazing. Just imagine being able to literally step outside of your room and be exposed to all this.

And at the end of the day, is this not the most perfect spot in the entire place? How were these chairs even empty?!

Oh Texas Bluebonnets!

Over the past couple days, I’ve traveled about 700 miles. I’ve had a chance to see a wide range of Texas landscapes, towns, historical locations, met some great people and just had a fantastic overall experience. I’ll be writing all about it in the weeks to come. I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

One of my favorite things to do is drive (if you haven’t caught on already). Take a back road and you may come across something that you wouldn’t typically see. Life gives you surprises and beautiful views everyday, we just have to embrace it. This time of year in Texas, the greenery is absolutely magnificent. The green is starting to come out in the grass and in the trees but my favorite part are the flowers. Wildflowers and bluebonnets (Texas state flower) can be seen alongside the Texas roads throughout the entire state. I saw a ton of people parked on the side of the road on Sunday on the four hour drive home. I even took part at one point near the Enchanted Rock.

Checking this one off my bucket list – “Get my picture taken in Bluebonnets”!

Last week, I shared with you my experience just outside of Fort Worth. (View, Peter Pan, Texas Sized Rocker and Natty Flat)Today, I wanted to share with you a few more pictures from my drive. In all seriousness, I never get sick of these back roads. The view is awesome. I kind of just want to pop open the hatch of my car and just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

There is nothing like taking pictures of these old shacks. I couldn’t get closer to this one. They had a no trespassing sign in their driveway / road.

Wild turkeys! I got kind of excited when I saw these and I thought of my brother. He would’ve started making the gobbling noises and if it was hunting season, there would’ve been at least one dead. When is turkey hunting season in Texas anyway?
