It's on to McKinney State Park in Austin...


Tuesday, Nov. 10th thru Friday morning, Nov. 13th
We drove to McKinney, checked in and set up camp. Nice place but at least 60% is closed due to the heavy flooding they had two weeks earlier. So bummed as so many of the camping spots & hiking trails are closed but we had a nice pull through site with some nice trees.
We set up, then headed to HEB for groceries, then decided to get back to camp before the traffic got bad.  We ate a wonderful dinner of salami, cheeses, breads and fruits. So yummy. We made our plan for the next day, played domino's and then headed to bed.

Wednesday- Got up, enjoyed our coffee and quiet time and then got dressed for the day and headed to Austin to look around. Went downtown, looked down S. Congress stores, ate at a Food Truck Park, nothing great, but good. Then more shopping around several little areas. 

 


We did some Christmas Shopping, as our goal was to use the time in Austin to knock out as much of our gift buying as we can. Then we headed back to camp and ate cheeses, salami meal again, it was sooo good.
Then more games and bed.

Thursday- We got up and enjoyed our reading, coffee and down time before going on a hike and picture taking excursion. 





Nice hike, sad we can’t get to more of the park, but so much was damaged in floods. Went back to camp and got dressed and headed back to an area of town we had passed on our way out the day before. Did some more Christmas Shopping and found an amazing Italian Restaurant for a late lunch. Oh my, so good. Best Margarita Pizza we have ever had. 



 
 Before you judge us too harsh...
this pretty much was our only meal of the day...and besides...we really love good food and this was amazing. I am ready to go back because I was so full I couldn't eat the gelato, and I really wanted to try it. Next time, dessert will be eaten first.
Then a bit more shopping before heading to camp to pack up and hook up as much as we can before dark. Then we played games and headed to bed. 
Tomorrow we head on to Garner State Park.
