The Best City in Texas





The rest of our Austin trip was very fun! This city is called Gruene, Texas (said "Green"). We had so many exciting times here. We both loved the city, with its rich history, and awesome places to visit. The top picture is called the Gruene Mansion Inn. Next time we are in the Austin area we are going to stay at least one night there. It truly is a mansion built in 1872, 31 rooms, and the biggest breakfast I have ever seen served at a B & B anywhere!!! Gristmill restaurant (middle picture) has to be the coolest place we have ever eaten. It is built inside an old barn and then added onto over the years. One of the biggest places I have ever eaten at....so much fun. We met my cousin Amy with her husband Dion and their son Carter for dinner. They paid....thank you very much!!!!!!!!!! The last picture is a picture of Gruene Hall. It is the oldest dance/music hall in Texas. Big name singers like Allan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks and more still sing here on a regular basis. Pretty cool! Overall, we had so much fun and it was a very relaxing vacation before baby Owen gets here:)
