Weekend Adventures

I wanted to write about this weekend, so let’s get this out of the way real quick...



This is Hamilton Pool, a natural pool in a park about 40 minutes outside of Austin. We drove out there on Saturday and checked it out. It’s *beautiful*. I would travel to Costa Rica for a sight such as this, and it’s in our own backyard. We got there early and walked along the creek, which had some really neat views with some beautiful flora along the path. Then a little later in the day, when it got really hot, we went back to the pool area and swam around for a bit in the cool water. Not super cold, just like a pool. There was even a little waterfall that poured water down on a rock you could sit on. I did, for a while, but the water was pretty sharp with all its velocity and it kinda stung my head. We had a great time, though, that place is so nice.

We went shopping for some clothes on sunday, too, just stuff to fit us both better. I’ve managed to keep off my weight and it would be nice to have a pair of shorts that I don’t need to hold up with a belt.

Oh, and friday I want out with some guys from work and saw The Expendables, which is exactly the kind of movie you expect it to be. Lots of truly preposterous action and a lot of fun. Especially when you see it wit a bunch of other guys. We had a blast watching it, then met up for some drinks and munchies at a restaurant nearby.

Okay, that’s out of the way. Hang on, let me get this other one ready...
