More Awesome Texas Places

Stayed in Llano, located in central Texas, for a fun-filled couple of days!

Stayed at the wonderful Badu House–an old bank building renovated into an inn.  It is now a brewpub (with 120 wines and 100 or so beers), live music on the patio (with excellent music by Alan Reed and Patrick Russell) and very cozy rooms upstairs (where you and the chef discuss what you would like for breakfast each morning).

Spent a day at nearby Inks Lake State Park, where we swam at Devil’s Waterhole, a wonderful swimming hole surrounded by gigantic boulders–of course, we were too wimpy to jump off the 3 or 4 stories high cliffs.  Had a very tasty lunch at Chris’ Landing in the park, where the sandwiches and buns were house made and delicious.  Then swam in yet another part of the lake because it was too windy to rent kayaks.

Afterwards, headed to Marble Falls, where we had dinner at the patio of On The Rocks, a nice little Italian place high on a cliff overlooking Lake LBJ.  Texas has so many terrific destinations to enjoy!
