The Dallas and Houston clubs met in New Braunfels for tubing and camping. The river was cold, the air hot and a little spotty rain did not deter our fun. It is so cool that we get to meet and hang out with members from other clubs. I remember some of the Houston members from last year and it was wonderful to see them again and catch up. We tubed on the Guadalupe River, we made meals and ate together, we sat around the campfire, we relaxed and left our work lives behind and WE HAD FUN! On Sunday some people headed to the hills and hiked. A few hit the other side of the hills and zip-lined and some even went into San Antonio to enjoy the other wildlife. The rest of us decided a chair in the river with a cold beverage was just right. It really was the best chair in the house.
We had some great meals too! I'm not sure if the french toast or the taco bar was my favorite. You always learn who has the formidable cooking skills when you put them in front of 2 massive grills with food for 90. I was quite impressed.
Thank you all for a great long weekend! I can hardly wait for Labor Day Weekend!
Labor Day Weekend was so much fun! We had a smaller group this time, only about 40, but that worked great because I got an opportunity to actually talk to and get to know a lot of people. When there are 80 or 100 it’s hard to talk with everyone. Friday night we hung out in the dining hall while we waited for everyone to arrive before we headed out to the fire pit for smores. Saturday morning breakfast came bright and HOT. Some hiked, some golfed some of us napped then headed to the Colorado River for some tubing. There was plenty of water so we didn’t have to lug our tubes over the shallow parts! Dinner was almost elegant, except for the flip flops and swim trunks. J Sunday was a repeat of Saturday with an added park ranger led hike that taught us about the Lost Pines and devastating fire of 2011 and kayaking or canoeing for some that tubed Saturday. The evening cooled down enough that most everyone headed out back to the campfire to toast marshmallows. Monday morning’s breakfast was definitely quieter and more leisurely before everyone headed home. I have to give huge kudos to those athletic souls who ran or bike the hills in the mornings.
