2010 Hill County texas

Hill Country

Spring is a good time to go to the Hill country in Texas. The weather is just perfect and the flowers in the spring are beautiful. We decided on Dripping Springs this year ; we traveled with a group of friends; four of us stayed at Cottonwood Creek RV Park  and one couple stayed in a hotel in Dripping Springs.

Hamilton Pool is a small park in the Hill Country. A spot of paradise.

Camp ( Cottonwood Creek RV Park )

We love to cook when we go camping; But we usually do not cook this much! We had a newcomer in our group and he had some special requests. This was a great challenge and fun for us. One night we had a shrimp boil;  another night a German meal- (Jäger Schnitzel and Bratwurst); Another night was steaks. We cooked every thing outside. Oh yes when we bought the motor home I had to make some rules. I am in charge on the inside and Steve is in charge for the outside. I made sure that Steve has all the equipment to do the cooking on the outside. I do help some and  every one else that is with us pitches in and it is a lot of fun. If you lucky are enough to be at the same camp as we are you can be sure that Steve will find you and invite you to eat with us. We always cook twice as much as we need!

We do not cook all the time. We love to find new and great places to eat out.We found a great Italian restaurant on a winery Mandola Estate Winery and the restaurant Trattoria Lisina..  Great place to eat; a bit pricey but well worth it.

We also visited Perdenalas State Park. You have to be careful here because the signs say that it can flood in a matter of minutes!! This is a must see in this area west of Austin.
