Home away from home...

I was contacted by the lovely folks over at DogVacay.com to write about a place that is our home away from home...

Travis and I are huge fans of getting away from it all.  We have never really taken extravagant vacations to exotic destinations, because really, that wouldn't feel like "us".   We are a little more laid back and since we are usually in bed by 9:00 pm, we have found that sleepy little Texas towns are more our speed.

Little Texas towns like Gruene.  Gruene, Texas is located just outside of New Braunfels in the Texas hill country.  It's also home to the oldest dance hall in Texas...

 Along with fabulous little shops for antiques, there are some yummy spots to enjoy a delicious meal.  The patio out at Gristmill is our fav...

We live such hustle and bustle lives- it's nice to slow down once in a while and take in our surroundings.  Gruene, Texas is our favourite place to do just that.

Going Gruene...

Travis and I have a favourite Texas vacation spot that we try to get to at least once a year.  Gruene, Texas is located right next to New Braunfels (not too far from San Antonio).  It's a small river town and we are smitten with it!
*warning- picture overload!

There are many great bed & breakfasts in the area.  We have tried a different one each time we go.  This last visit we stayed here:

The breakfasts were DIVINE!  I am not a breakfast person, but I found myself going back for seconds each morning : o )
