The only pic of me the whole weekend and it just so happens to be with the "Super Star" Trev

So we left early Friday morning to head up to Lake Travis. Our plans were to stay the weekend camping in Pace Bend Park, but here is how it went. We got there around noon. We found our first camp site right up from this cute little rocky cove, but the ground was so rugged and uneven there was no place to put a tent. The second spot was awesome, but the ground was so hard that we couldn't even drive a stake in. Camp spot number 3 was cool, set back in the trees about 100 yards from the water, close to the restrooms. At this point we took a break and went swimming down in the rock cove to cool off. It was beautiful. Teal green water and I have no clue how deep it was. We tried to find bottom, but we were not successful. We were the only ones there so it was like our own secluded swimming resort. Then we went back to camp to finish setting up only to find fire ants all over everything including the outside of our tent. Camp spot #4, we found this spot down closer to the beach. It was a little oasis of trees. So we finally set up camp about 7:30(reminder: we got to the park at 12) and everything was going great. Then the breeze stopped. Trev slept through the night so that rocked! It was so hot we all slept in our bathing suits. Needless to say we took turns sleeping in the car. We couldn't even breathe in our tents. At 11 Jas was coming into the tent and came face to face with a scorpion on our tent!!! The whole night was just wack.

Saturday we got up and moving around 7. Exhausted, we had one heck of a day ahead of us. We picked up a waverunner at the marina at 9. Met up with my sis, Anthony and Julie. Took turns riding until about 11. Went swimming until about 12, ate lunch then packed everything up and headed to Barton Springs because there was no way we were going to camp like that another night. Barton Springs was really different. It was 105 outside and the water was 63 degrees. It was freezing cold. The good thing is, Trevor loved it. There were at least 1000 people in the cold springs pool. So throughout the day we were debating on getting a hotel and staying another day, but last minute we decided to go out to eat in Austin and drive home. It only took us 2 and half hours to get back which is crazy, but Jason was driving if that says anything.

After everything negative that happened, we all had a blast! Not attitudes at all. I can't wait for our next road trip. Maybe the Guadalupe? Long story short, I love Austin!
