This cemetery sits on the edge of the small town of Blanco, Texas. It serves the local community…read moreand is still an active graveyard. For the most part, the layout of the cemetery is pretty orderly, but there is some randomness to it. There are literally thousands of graves here in this multi acre property and there is an additional field for hundreds more. Many of the older headstones from the 1800s are interspersed with 20th century ones. It is well manicured with the evidence of many visitations and recent interments. There is a single gravel road that runs through most of the property. I did not find a kiosk housing the names and places of all those interred here, but there are a couple of buildings and a porta potty. Despite being out in the country, the city limits of this town are expanding and so is the noise of the traffic. You'll find the video and photos included to be informative.

Then, you wander around this Old West Town with a church, saloon, production office, Texas Rangers Headquarters and jail, mercantile, barber shop, undertaker and more! Some movies were filmed here and many of the buggies were used in films such as True Grit, Lonesome Dove, Hildago, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer and more. There are over 200 unique buggies, carriages and wagons dating from the 1860s - 1900s at the museum. Pistol Packing Paula was our guide and she knows everything there is to know about all the buggies in the museum. By the way, she's a world champion pistol twirler! Such a pleasure to listen to!

This place is also a museum but they also host events, commercials, movies etc! A lot of their antique buggies have been in major movies and tv series and let's just say some amazing Texas actors have also done business here! I'm glad to be able to come to this quaint western town museum that has about 300ish antique Buggies for your viewing pleasure. It's family owned and that makes it more special!

This is a small park right in the town of Blanco. We had a FHU site in the first / 50amp loop…read more Backing up wasn't a problem except for the tress across from the site. The branches are low and extend into the roadway. I had to pull them back while my husband backed into the site. They could have scratched the side of the coach if we hadn't done that. We asked camp staff to trim those back, but they never came. Pulling out of the site into the road had to be done carefully as well. Just enough room to miss those branches. Maybe we need to start carrying loppers :) Also beware of the fire ants this time of year and lots of mosquitoes. Poor water pressure. We actually didn't even have water at times (mostly during the weekend when the park was full) You can swim/float on the river right in the park. The town is small but you can walk or ride your bike there. If you go left when entering the state park, the roadway will take you to a city park. You can ride into town from there so you don't have to cross busy Hwy 281.

Blanco State Park (@blancostatepark) is a hidden gem in the Texas Hill Country, offering a peaceful…read moreriverside escape that feels both scenic and relaxing. Nestled along about a mile stretch of the Blanco River, this relatively small park delivers big on charm, making it perfect for a day trip or a quiet weekend outdoors. One of the standout features of the park is the low-water dam and walkway, which creates calm pools on one side and gentle flowing water on the other. Walking across it gives you beautiful panoramic views of the river, just like in your photos--calm water, limestone edges, and plenty of space to take it all in. The setting feels very serene, especially with the surrounding trees and open sky. The river itself is the heart of the park. Whether you're swimming, fishing, or just sitting by the water, it's a relaxing experience. The water is usually calm and shallow in areas, making it great for families, while deeper sections are perfect for swimming or paddling. Wildlife is another highlight--you'll often spot birds, turtles, and even ducks or geese hanging around the shoreline, adding to the natural vibe. The mix of cypress trees, limestone banks, and clear water really gives it that classic Hill Country feel. Beyond the water, the park has easy walking trails and shaded paths, ideal for a casual hike. These aren't intense hikes, but they're perfect for a laid-back stroll through nature. Picnic areas and campsites are scattered throughout, making it easy to spend a full day here or even stay overnight. Blanco State Park is not the biggest or most dramatic park in Texas, but that's exactly its appeal. It's calm, scenic, and easy to enjoy--perfect for relaxing by the water, taking photos, or just disconnecting for a while. If you're looking for a peaceful outdoor spot with beautiful river views and a laid-back atmosphere, this park definitely delivers.

There are not enough words or characters to describe the positively, life-altering experience I had…read morewith Helene. I did a 12-session hypnotherapy package with her. Just meeting her, you can tell she is an angel on earth, exuding light, love, and safety. I was ready to do the hard healing work and she provided me the tools and space to ease into my sessions. She was beyond hospitable, always offering tea or coffee, or a walk in her beautiful woods. The sound healing alone was enough to provide transformative experiences. What I experienced in my sessions were intense, yet magical. From past life to ancestral & current life issues, we worked through them all. I am an entirely new person because of her (and my willingness to do the deep inner work). I shed so many things from limiting beliefs to people. People even comment how much of a light I am now. I have a deeper connection to myself, my intuition, and my destined path. I am confident and healthier, with more clarity. There is Tiffany before Helene & Tiffany after Helene. I call her my fairy godmother for a reason & I hope everyone can experience at least one session with her. If you are willing to do the inner work and confront the necessary changes, Helene is your powerful, yet angelic guide. I am a healing advocate and if you know me, then you know of my experience with Helene because I cannot stop raving about how far I've come since working with her! I am excited for her to do group work, she is that powerful-she needs to do healing for the masses. She can drop me into a deep meditation faster than anything I've ever experienced. I plan on getting my Reiki Master Teacher from her as well. She will never get rid of me lol!

John, the owner, was extremely prompt in his communication & so helpful with our planning. David, the driver, was SO knowledgeable, informative and friendly! He gave us information on wineries we've never been to and made recommendations for future trips. He was quick to respond when we were ready to move on to our next stop (we made 4 in one day!), and he took AMAZING photos of our group! I especially appreciated that the gratuity was not automatically added, and I know this was a benefit to David as well because the group gave him a much better tip than the standard 20%.

Kenneth was a great tour guide, giving us information about each of the breweries we went to. He also sat with us at each location and it was cool getting to know him.

Apparently it's become a tradition that we do a brewery tour when we travel…read more One of the breweries I was told I MUST visit, while in Austin, was Jester King. Searched online for brewery tours that included this and finally decided on Austin Brewery Tours. Almost daily tours, online booking was so easy, and we got a reminder, a couple of days earlier to our tour, via email. Tour starts at noon. Meetup time was 11:30am. At around 11:25am the van was there. Out comes Shane, owner and tour guide. He immediately introduced himself, thanked us for being on time and proceeded to ask us our names and where we were from. Once the other people taking the tour arrived, we were all introduced and in the van we went. During the time we were driving, he would ask us questions to get to know us better, and see the style of beers we liked. He also gave us an intro of each of the breweries we would visit. He made the time driving pass by fast and welcomed all questions we could have. At each of the breweries, he explained the process and what we had included in the price of the tour. At Jester King, they even had a special release and he bought a sample of each (which was not included in the price but he gifted us with it) making sure we had the complete experience. You can tell he enjoys doing these tours and meeting the people. He even took us to Revolution - which was in front of one of the breweries we visited - to try locally made flavored gin. So greateful he allowed us to do this quick stop - this was delicious, and gave me the opportunity to talk more with one of the ladies on the tour, exchanging ideas on recipes with the gin we had just tried. Shane is grate at incorporating everyone in the tour and conversations. He allows you plenty of time to enjoy each brewery and every beer you choose. He is now friends with the staff at each of these breweries, which works on the advantage of everyone in the tour since we got excellent/ friendly service at each stop. Best part of this all, is you meet new people, get to enjoy all the beer you can drink, and don't have to drive. Great way to spend a day in Austin. If looking for a beer tour, look no further, this is it!

To get started, we drove to the Southside to Stinson Field and entered the historic terminal. It was no hassle to check in. We walked to the tarmac and boarded the helicopter, which seats four -- so there were us two, the pilot, and an empty seat. When we took off for downtown San Antonio, I'm afraid of heights, so I had to hold on to the grab bar for a little bit, but then the view took my breath away. We got to see landmarks in downtown San Antonio, like the Tower of the Americas, the Central Library, and the Alamo. The view west towards the sunset was beautiful. It was a smooth ride except for a few moments when we passed over some blacktop (the highway) and then there's an updraft. The pilot narrated the tour, answered our questions, and explained things like how fast do helicopters fly. Soon we would like to come back and do one of the longer tours, maybe to see the sunset or to explore more of the Hill Country.
