Angela and Xander invited me to go to
Wimberley with them today. She
wanted to take me to
Blue Hole. Since I am always up for a watering hole
excursion I gladly agreed that it would be a great way to spend a
Sunday morning. I headed out to Angela's a little later than usual
today. It took us around 40 minutes or so from her house to get there.
Wimberly is a cute little touristy town that reminds me of the mountain
towns in Colorado. Lots of antique places and cutsy shops. And lots of
water. I keep kicking myself that I never visited these places before. I
always knew there were places like the Guadalupe and the Comal rivers
but I didn't really realize how many awesome water spots there are in
the hill country. We got a little lost but soon were back on track. We
arrived after they opened and were able to find a nice spot in the shade
to lay out our stuff. Blue Hole in Wimberly is an interesting place. It
reminded me of a painting. On one side there are small rocky cliffs
with a valley of green grass and then on the other side there is the
Blanco River with large cypress trees and rope swings. There were
already plenty of people there sprinkled along the grounds. It was like a
secret place. Dads were sharing rope swing time with their kids.
Xander
immediately wanted to get on a rope swing and he did pretty good. I
personally was having a hard time with the rope swing. I wanted to jump
then swing but it didn't allow enough time for me to pick my feet up. I
was starting to figure it out toward the end of the day. I always liked
the idea of the rope swing but was never a fan of doing it because I
always chickened out. But back in the day you had to climb a slippery
tree to a rope that barely looked like it could hold you, and you had to
make sure you cleared the rocks first. Here there is a dock and the
rope swing that consists of a chain that has a hoop to hold on to at the
end. We played around for a while on the swings and then took a break.
We jumped in a couple more times and then took off for home. When I got
to the house my little sister was still over and she wanted to take
Isaac to
Deep Eddy. I figured what the heck...two swimming holes in one
day works for me.
