Our BFFs have one son, and he always spends Thanksgiving day with his wife's big family, then has a second celebration with Paula and Tim a day or two later. Last year, since both our kids were going to be with their in-laws as well, we decided to meet the Sanford's for lunch at the beautiful Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop, which is just about midway between our home and theirs. We had so much fun that we decided to do the same thing again this year.
But then, just a couple of days before Thanksgiving, my hubby casually commented "You know, Georgetown is also midway between us and the Sanfords." Next thing we knew, not only did we have reservations for Thanksgiving lunch in Georgetown, we also had rooms at the lovely Sheraton conference center, and plans to head up there a day ahead, when all the fun shops on the square would actually be open. Turns out, conference centers don't have any conferences going on during the holidays, so not only were we offered a great rate for our rooms, we practically had the place to ourselves!
We met them just in time for lunch at 600 Degrees Pizzaria, then the guys and gals split up to wander the square. We'd only been in one or two shops when we came upon this place.
Craft Beer and Outfitters in one location? Weird, huh? No, brilliant! When I peered through the window, guess what I found?
Our hubbies! Happy as could be, and in no hurry for us to finish up our shopping.
Can you imagine a better place than this...
in which to watch your all-time favorite Christmas movie every year?
Apparently poppies are a big deal in Georgetown, since we saw them mentioned everywhere, and on everything.
It seems they host a poppy festival here every year, so that must mean there are poppy fields around here somewhere, right? I was so sad that we were never in France when the poppies were in bloom. Wouldn't it be a hoot to discover they've been blooming right here, in my own backyard, all this time?
