Summer has been
a bit slow. I asked Colin if he wanted to go somewhere, and he said he wanted
to go fishing. So, I got busy searching and found a cabin at Inks Lake
State Park. I quickly booked it and Colin started packing the car with a ridiculous
amount of fishing gear. I have started trying to visit more of the Texas state
park. It is Texas and hot but I decided to be a team player and have fun! Inks
Lake is beautiful.
We fished all
day and not one single fish! We checked into our cabin . . .
Well around 2am
the air conditioner froze up. It was so stinking quiet neither of us could
sleep. The AC would thaw out and turn back on but then go off again. It was
pretty miserable but at some point, we both managed to fall asleep.
Do you ever get
the feeling someone is watching you? Around 8am I had that feeling. I looked up
and saw Colin looking down at me from his top bunk. I can’t tell you the last
time Colin Sims was up at 8 AM on a vacation that we were not catching a flight.
As he saw my eyes open, he muttered, “I hate this place”. We both laughed and
agreed to leave asap. He still wanted to fish so we regrouped and headed to the
other side of Austin to McKinney Falls State Park. It was a very pretty
park in the middle of a busy urban area. We grabbed our gear and found a spot.
Colin fished for a couple hours and finally had a catch! One single fish in two
days!
We called it a
day and made the quick drive to one of our favorite Texas hotels, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort. It was a bit of a step up from our cabin!
We love hanging
out at this resort . . . lazy river, skeet shooting, fishing, relaxing by the pool,
and the best part . . . nightly fires for s'mores!
