The Artist Couple
The other day marks the day of a great discovery, Mckinney Falls State Park. This unbelievably beautiful park contains 81 camp sites, 6 cabins, multiple trails, and plenty of waterfalls and swimming holes, not to mention it's only a 10 minute drive from our new home! Still not used to the warm weather, I was kicking myself for not thinking to bring my swimsuit, or at least wear some shorts. As the sun rose and temperatures climbed to the mid-80's, it got pretty hot walking with little shade. The rocky landscape is so different from the woods and prairies we've been used in Wisconsin, it's a whole new world of terrain, plants, and animals to discover! Wandering off the trails was just too easy, making the hours pass like minutes. We only got about a quarter of the way through the park coming from the north, but Topher and I cannot wait to hike and photograph the rest if its anything like this northern section! Hopping over the pools of cool water that carve and shape landscape made me feel like a little kid exploring a new backyard of small bathtubs. I can confidently say that this is both Topher and I's favorite park in Austin thus far. Walking along the massive sheets of limestone took my breath away, however the day could not be complete without enjoying tacos and tortas from a delicious food truck we found off 1st Street, it was another perfect day in Austin. Check back soon for more Austin activities!
