All of the essentials of a Texas vacation: my Canon DSLR; a trunk of blue jeans and bathing suits; a tote full of books befitting a poolside; and a pair of boots. My brother, sister-in-law, niece, and I met my Mom at the Lost Pines Resort outside of Bastrop for a mini-getaway. Each of us has been in dire need of a break from our respective day-to-days and decided even such a close destination was sufficient to do the trick. We're going to spend the weekend enjoying the seclusion, spotty cell phone service, Spa Django, and each other's company. I was looking forward to running at McKinney Roughs nearby, but I don't think such is in the cards for me this time around.
