Granbury, TX at Christmas Time!

3 Replies

January is going to be full of catch up posts I suppose. Here is another in another great town – Granbury! Granbury is just a short drive outside of the Fort Worth area and a town that I absolutely love to visit. The town square is where it’s at. Centered around the courthouse, the square is full of unique shops where you can find just about anything you are looking for (plus things that you’re not even looking for). It’s a great place to do some shopping with some girlfriends, a significant other or even just by yourself.

And a historic area it is. These signs can be found all over the place. Be sure to stop by a few to check them out!

Something that I love about these old Texas towns – the Courthouse. They can usually be found within the town square. I love Granbury’s.

To go with the antique signs, antique cars!

Here’s a another piece of history that you can catch in the area – I caught the tail end of a shoot out. I’m not sure what happened but as I walked over this lady had a gun and there was only three left standing (and one of them was a Sheriff) and there were about three guys down on the ground. Good thing they got the three year old little boy from the crowd to come take the bad guy away!

In all seriousness, Granbury is a very historic. As mentioned, there’s many, many historical markers, many old businesses and homes (which have been turned into B&B’s). Here is my favorite in town that was decorated so beautifully!

In each corner of the square around the court house, these giant Christmas trees were decorated. Yes, that’s a chair in the tree! They were all different! LOVE IT!

It was really nice to get out of the metroplex for the day and walk around this cute town. I can’t believe the holiday’s are already over. Did they seem to fly by to anyone else?

Campo Verde, Arlington, TX

So, there’s a little Mexican restaurant over in Arlington, Texas that is known more for it’s decor during the holiday season than anything else. Have you heard of Campo Verde? I’ve been here before but never during Christmas and when I walked in, I couldn’t believe my eyes and seriously needed some shades!

The only things that weren’t decorated were the little Mexican guys on top of the building outside. Couldn’t believe they left them out!

I was having a lot of fun with these lights inside. How can you not?!

If you have a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit, keep this place in mind next year. It helped me out a little bit. If for nothing else, go grab a margarita. They were delicious!

Vermont, Christmas 2012

I meant to write this post earlier but things got a little crazy after coming back from Vermont for Christmas and I’ve been sick all last weekend (well even now) so here it is.

All I wanted for Christmas and have lots of snow and I got it! Lucky me. When I got there, everything was muddy and brown but the next morning it started snowing and it didn’t stop the entire time! I was in love! One of the things that I miss the most about Vermont, especially during the winter is snow. It’s beautiful, relaxing, calming. Ahhh, can’t get enough!

So I took a few walks, my brother took me on a four wheeler ride (and a snowshoeing but that will come later) and I got a few shots in. Hope you enjoy!
