This past weekend, we got to take a little break from the normal routine and get out of town for a few days. My family rented a lake house up on the north shore of Lake Travis and it we had a great time just hanging out together. I know for me, it was nice to just get away and find a change of scenery for a few days… for Allison, it was a whole new world of experiences…
She got her first up close view of the lake and the countless boats that went by, which get her excited each time… she would hear them coming and would get excited even before they appeared in view. In this picture she was letting me know that another boat was coming…

She enjoyed her first trip to the golf course… even though she had a tough time with clubs that were a few sizes too big for her…

Enjoyed this beautiful view from the 16th hole… ok, maybe Mommy and Daddy enjoyed it more than Allison did, but it sure was a nice view…

Caught a short, late afternoon nap with Mommy on the hammock… which was probably just as nice and needed for Mommy as it was for Allison…

Then woke up to enjoy a good laugh with Daddy after watching the sunset over the lake from the dock…

It was great trip and I look forward to many more getaways like this… both for my own sake and to get to watch Allison experience new things. For now, it’s back to work and back to counting the days until football season!
