Trip to New Braunfels/Gruene



A couple weekends ago, we took a short trip down the interstate. There was a surprise party for Cory's brother's 40th, so we packed up Nana and made a weekend out of it.

First thing we did was check out the hotel grounds while my mom took a nap (unfortunately we had all passed around an awful stomach bug, and her turn started on the trip down there). Walking around a huge grassy area was just what Ethan needed after the hour-long trip.

Seriously huge trees around these parts


That evening we headed to Gruene River Grill for the big surprise. We met Cory's brothers, sister-in-law, and future sister-in-law, along with a few of the birthday boy's friends.

Surprise! Probably a big surprise, since his birthday is October and all (long story).


Me and the Mister all dressed up.


Brothers.


The next day we took a dip in the pool, window-shopped a little in Gruene (which in our opinion is a little overrated), and then drove along the river. We ended up finding a spot not filled with people toobing (why is it spelled that way?) and let Ethan wade around a little.

He loved it. And we loved how cool the water was after walking around in bajillion degree weather.

All in all in was a nice little trip, and the hotel was awesome. We've decided we're going back when my mom doesn't feel like she's dying.

Fun!! I haven't been to NB in forever. What hotel did you stay at?

Yeah, what hotel is that? Very nice. Must have been in Gruene, as it's on the river?

Gruene is HIGHLY overrated. We definitely need to do a BBQ on the river, get everyone together! That would be fun. Our 'hood has a park on the river where we could all hang out.

We actually stayed in NB at The Courtyard Marriott. Joyce- let's do it!

Well, that's a nice hotel. Maybe we'll have to leave our house and spend the night there. :)

I'll start planning something!
