The Blue Hole


There's a lot of awesome watering holes and secret spots to chill out at in Austin but one of my favorite places to float is The Blue Hole in Georgetown, Texas. It's just a short drive from Austin and is never too crowded like Barton Springs or Hamilton Pool are. The Mister and I discovered this little piece of heaven through some mutual friends that lived near by. We made the the trip out there one day and feel in love with the surroundings. How could you not? The hole is surrounded by limestone bluffs making it a wonderful place to go cliff jumping.... though not encouraged it always ends up being the case. The Blue Hole is actually a portion of The San Gabriel river making it's temperature warmer than the usual swimming holes. This is exactly what we did last Sunday. Since Austin has been experiencing high temperatures in the upper 100's we thought it was the only right thing to do. It was a wonderful day...hot but beautiful. We brought our little floats and drifted along for a few hours with dragonflies buzzing all around us and landing on the tips of our toes. Everyone was happy, laughing and playing. When we were finished floating we took a little break and drank some ice cold brew that we had packed along with some snacks. It was a good day and a great way to spend with the one you love. It's moments like these that I hope to remember and cherish forever.

I hope everyone is having an awesome summer so far. I would love to hear about everyone's plans....anything special or new?
