On the drive we began seeing the wide varities of Texas wildflowers in shades of orange, yellow, purple, and pink that seem to grow everywhere. There were huge ranch houses, small, tidy homes, barns with corrals, black Angus, and working pump jacks. We're definitely back in Texas!
The drive, though short, was tiring – bad roads and a stiff wind hit us broadside most of the way, but we made it safely. Once we set up, we headed into Brenham for an H.E.B. and groceries. During our stay at Rock Creek, we ate at Guadalahara in Brenham (pretty good) and Los Fuentes in Somerille (very good) and I saw my first Texas longhorns in Texas (the only other ones I've seen were in Florida (that's just not right, somehow!) The highlight of our stay was Saturday when my cousin Trish and her two adorable kids Maddie and Bradon came over. We had a great visit, Trish brought some wonderful old photos from the 1800's of our Goldsmith ancestors that I had never seen before.
Now it's to Jim Hogg COE park and our favorite Greek restaurant, Plaka in Georgetown, Texas.
