 Spring is in the air and strawberries are found everywhere! Be it at H.E.B. (groceries store) or farmer's markets, this fruit is grabbed fast for its freshness and best value. Ever wonder the fun to pick your own fruits as much as you like? In Texas, there are farms that offer the experience to pick-your-own fruits. We happened to make a drive to Marble Falls for wildflower viewing and detoured to Sweet Berry Farm - a venue that provides us a chance to pick the ripe strawberry! Guess we did righ… |

 I was made aware about the wonderful wild flowers viewing when I received an email from MD. From her suggested drive for the best sightseeing, I twisted our journey to include fruit picking, visiting Longhorn Cavern State Park and food hunting in Marble Falls. Started from Austin we traveled south, then headed west via Hwy 71 passing Bee Cave and Spicewood before taking a turn into Hwy 281 North and continued our journey to Marble Falls. Next, we drove on RM 1431 for 1.5 miles before turning rig… |

And this morning, I found the 'wild flowers area' right across our residence is covered with a huge patch of bluebonnets and some other wild flowe… |

Located 13 miles southeast of State Capitol in Austin Downtown, the park can be reached via U.S. Highway 183, followed by McKinney Falls Parkway. As the name calls, the focal point of the park is McKinney Falls. Although this is the shortest traveled state park from home, we decided to spend a full day at McKinney Park in order to put our newly bought mobile gas stove for good use. Weather was cold in winte… |

 Located about 9 miles east from Johnson City in Texas Hill Country, Pedernales Falls offers a clear spring-fed river and lovely waterfalls over the slope of limestone. The highlight of this park is the Pedernales River which one may swim in the river, wade water or even engage in tubing but this place has more than that for nature enthusiasts. Hiking trails are plenty, mountain biking is also possible, bird watching and also horse riding! Although this park is not known as 'fishing' park, angler… |
