Floating on TOOB 9
For our 4th anniversary Dave took me to Wimberly Texas to a Luxury Bed & Breakfast called Creekhaven Inn. It was so beautiful and relaxing. Wimberly is located south of Austin in the Hill Country.
There is a creek that runs through the property with a swimming hole about 300 yds away that was voted one of Texas' Top 10 Swimming Holes. We walked to 'Blue Hole' and found that they had just finished filming a Disney movie called 'How To Eat Fried Worms' (It was a childrens novel). A security guard found us there and asked us to leave, after answering some questions!
On Saturday we drove through the Hill Country to a town called Gruene, to the Gruene River Company, where we rented toobs and floated down the Guadalupe River for about 4 hours! The river was moving very slowly and several times during the day I said to Dave "I don't think that we are even moving?!" Thank goodness for Dave's long arms! Almost like paddles! There were some slight rapids which made things exciting for a few minutes. It was such a beautiful day, hot and sunny, and the water refreshingly cold. After all the floating we got changed and went into the small town and had a drink at the oldest dance hall in Texas, Gruene Hall. Then we ventured to the Gristmill Restaurant that had 10 distinct dinning areas, all with spectaular views of the river.
