The Best Not-So-Hidden Texas Swimming Hole

Have you ever been to Krause Springs? Before my current stay in Austin, I lived here for five years while going to UT. And during undergrad, Krause Springs never even crossed my radar. 

And for that, I am very disappointed with everyone who knew about it and didn't tell me. 

Since moving back to Austin, Chris and I have been out to Krause Springs a handful of times, and it's honestly just magical. I mean there is no real magic going on there, Witches of East End fans, but you get those feel-good-summer's-gonna-last-forever vibes when you're out there. And if that's not magic, then I don't know what is.


Here are a few shots from last summer when we took my nephew swimming there while we were babysitting one day. Def try to go while it's still that nice kind of hot.

Let the good summer times roll, y'all.

A Romantic Weekend in Comfort, Texas

For Valentine's Day weekend, Chris and I took a little getaway to Comfort, Texas, just about twenty-five minutes south of Fredericksburg. We had never been to Comfort before, and it was pretty darling. Small, romantic, and not overrun with weekenders like Fredericksburg can be these days sometimes.

Where to stay: Hotel Faust. So cute. Loved it all. And you get a delicious breakfast in the morning.

Where to shop: All the little antique shops and stores on High Street.

Where to eat: We got a pizza to go from Comfort Pizza the first night and grabbed a bottle of wine from the Branch on High (the new tasting room/wine bar of the award-winning Bending Branch winery). The next night we ate at Welfare Cafe, which is a short drive away. 814 A Texas Bistro was also recommended to us, although we didn't have time to eat there.

Wineries to visit: Bending Branch Winery is just a few minutes outside of town, and I am official a fan of their wines now. So many times over recommended. We also stopped at Singing Water Vineyards, which is close by as well.
