Dallas + Old Red Courthouse

Day one of my family's vacation led us to Dallas.

We stopped in to see the Old Red Courthouse and their extensive museum upstairs. It was fascinating!

There was this strange little old house in the courtyard before the courthouse. It is kind of quaint, don't you think?

I couldn't help but feel a little proud that my brother used my shawl in the drive there as a blanket.

Doesn't he look so serene?

Sorry the picture of him is a little blurry, it was a bumpy ride.

Just a pretty piece of sky I saw in the car.

We saw the place where JFK was shot.
It was saddening.

It was a fun trip. I love learning about history and this was just that.

Very enjoyable.

Trip to New Braunfels

My sister Kaitlyn and I took a little trip last week to New Braunfels, Texas. We hadn't been there since we were little and thought it would be fun and it was!

Although the town wasn't at all like I remember we had a fun time taking random pictures and going into the antique shops. The above photo is one thing that we both loved because they used to be in all the old McDonald's when we were younger.
There were many murals all over the town, many German inspired...

The lion below was supposedly a water fountain?!? We couldn't believe it, so we had to take a picture to show you.

Can you believe this was some one's house?

This lady's expression kind of scared me ;)

All in all it was a wonderful trip to remember!

XOXO, Callie the magical bean

Lovely Vacation

This is the dock where we fished.

Beautiful Texas wildflowers that we saw along the road.

We had a wonderful time cooking out and making s'mores!! Such fun...

Cows grazing along the road.

The trip was a smash! We spent our time fishing, swimming, and sightseeing. The weather was scorching hot as it usually is in Texas, but it was bearable thanks to the cool water and air conditioner. I got to spend quality time with my family which was great. The afternoons were spent lazily reading or crocheting. All in all it was great fun!!
