Enchanted Rock

Our day at Enchanted Rock was indeed enchanting. Not a cloud in the sky, nice cooler temps and just a good vibe all around. It was also super windy at the top! Can't believe Dave and I had never been. After all the hiking we did in Utah, the climb was a piece of cake (relatively speaking...).

We thought Enchanted Rock would be a lot bigger than this?!? 


Enchanted Rock or the moon?

We had a picnic before heading back to Austin. It was a perfect way to celebrate Spencer's birthday. We want to go back this winter - maybe do some stargazing.

Hanging at the Hangar Hotel

We drove to Fredericksburg yesterday to visit the Hangar Hotel. It's a 1940s-insipired hotel with a neat diner at the tiny airport in Fredericksburg. You can sit inside the diner and watch planes come and go. We thought Spencer would get a big kick out of this since he loves planes. It did not disappoint!


We had some yummy sweet treats, peeked inside the airplanes and checked out the hotel and officer's club. If it hadn't been 100 degrees we probably would've hung out a little longer. A fun outing!

P.S. Spencer has been telling people about the plane above. I thought he was calling it a "Tommy plane" but then I realized he was saying "timey plane" as in "old-timey plane." :)
