We just got home from a trip to the San Antonio area. We spent some time in San Antonio, San Marcos, New Braunfels, and Gruene. These are some of our favorite spots on earth.

We took a new road home today. We shot North on 281. This took us through the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The road was much less hectic than I-35. It took about an hour longer. But the views were just georgeous. The hills stretched from San Marcos all the way to Benbrook, just south of Fort Worth.

Marble Falls, Texas was probably the best jewel along the way. Just a beautiful little town with a nice lake snaking along it’s southern side. We’ll have to get back out there again soon. Although, we certainly played the tourist when we asked where to find the falls. We were told they were under the lake. Oooops! They dammed the Colorado River several years ago and flooded the town’s namesake falls. Oh well!

No trips planned for the near future. But the some of The Harris Family is coming in next weekend. Looking forward to seeing them.

We’re in the Hill Country enjoying a few days of rest and relaxation before school starts back in a couple of weeks. We had a horrible experience upon arriving at our resort. The room was horribly dirty and stinky. Everything smelled like cigarette smoke and immediately put our sinuses on high alert status.

We had to wait until the next day to get everything cleaned up properly (and the cleaning crew really did it up right the second time around). They also brought a little ozone air handler to run in our room. This little unit is marvelous and does a terrific job of handling odors in the air and completely removed any trace of cigarette smell from the entire unit.

We immediately went online to track down the company that makes this unit: RainbowAir.net Now, the units are not cheap. But I can certainly recommend them. It really works well. I can think of a few friends that have indoor pets that could use a unit like this.

Time to head over to ebay to setup a watchlist for one of these.
