January 8-14, 2019
We traveled to Pedernales Falls State Park where we had
reservations for three nights. It was good to slow down and take in
the Texas Hill country. The road through the rural area to get to the
park was flooded from recent rains, so we had to ford several
streams. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area and hiked around
the falls on the Pedernales River.

Our second day instead of fighting the city traffic in Austin in
order to experience one of many microbreweries, we drove a short
distance to Johnson City. There we found the Pecan Street Brewery.
Their beer was good and their cooking even better. Continuing the
theme of pecans, I had a pecan covered fried chicken and we shared a
pecan shortbread type of desert. After lunch, since the sun was
finally out, we took a drive through the countryside to the town of
Dripping Springs. There Greg found a bike shop and was able to get
the parts he needed for his fat tire bike.

The campground was booked for the weekend, so we moved closer to
San Antonio to Guadaloupe River State Park. Four nights there brought
us to the time to relocate to San Antonio. The weather was cold and
gloomy. Greg took a guided nature hike Saturday morning and tried to
bike ride, but the trails were closed. Too soggy from the recent
rains. We chilled for a few days knowing that we would be very busy
entertaining a three year-old soon!
