i LOVE summer!!

This weekend ryan and I were looking forward to another mini vacation. I was especially looking forward to getting out of the store for a weekend because all of June and July I had to work EVERY weekend so I definately needed some time to just relax and have some fun!

We got together a group of friends we have out here in college station and planned on a weekend to go float the river. Now, if you are unfamiliar with the whole floating the river idea, let me fill ya in. Every summer when the water is warm, 1,000's of people flock to the guadalupe river, rent some tubes, pack some coolers and enjoy floating your happy hineys down to river. The float can last as long as you wish, anywhere from a couple of hours up to 5 or 6. Some of you may think it is boring and sounds pretty silly that all of these people live for this stuff but I have to say, it is quite relaxing and entertaining.



Anyway, Ryan and I took the day off Friday to get the weekend started early. We drove out to New Braufels and arrived at the riverhouse at about 11 am. This house was so cute! Mr. Evans, the gentleman who opened up his house to us, had it decorated inside and out with University of Texas stuff. He had a burnt orange chevy sitting in the driveway, UT curtains, paintings, toilet seat, I mean everything. Mr. E is a pretty cool guy too. He actually had a house up the street that he actually lives in so he just has the river house so he can have people come and visit and it located RIGHT on the river! So you walk out the back door, down the stairs and hop right into the river. Nice.



I keep getting off track. Sorry. So once Ryan and I got to the house we got our tubes and got ready for float #1. Tim, one of our friends made a radio river proof so as we enjoyed the beautiful view we could also enjoy our country music. There were a couple of rapids we had to maneuver through but at the end of the four hours we all made it in one piece back to the trucks.




Then Saturday we woke up ate some breakfast waited for a couple more friends to join us and started the float all over again. After float #2, we all made it again safely down the river headed back to the house and got ready to go into Gruene and enjoy some AMAZING mexican food at Adobe Verde. It was very yummy! After dinner we just came back to the house and made our way to bed. All that time in the sun can really wear ya out! All in all Ryan and I had lots of fun and really enjoyed ourselves and time we had together.

I just love summer! We have had a very busy July and it isn't over yet! We have one more vacation planned for the last week of july/first week of august to celebrate our ONE YEAR anniversary! I can't even believe how fast this first year has flown by!
