Salado

We headed to Salado yesterday afternoon to check out this town we've heard so much about. It is the neatest little town! There are all kinds of girly stores with antiques and dodads and all that kind of stuff! We didn't get to go in any because they all close around 5 which is weird...I'm guessing Salado is really busy on Saturday during the day?? Anyway, we found this little burger place to eat, then had icecream and then headed down to the river. It was a spring-fed type of stream so the water was crystal clear and cool. We took a net and a container and spent the next hour or so trying to catch minnows, just because. We all had such a great time doing such a simple thing. There was hardly anyone else around which made us feel like we were off in the woods somewhere. We definitely feel like we've found a little treasure in that area and we will for sure be headed back there more often. It's only about a 25 minute drive so it's perfect! I told Shawn that I wanted to go there for an anniversary one time because there are a ton of B&B's and everything looks a lot like a little cottage...just my style!

This is why I have the best husband! He has no problem catching minnows in a pink Barbie net!
