Y'all, if you were ever curious as to what the weather is like during February in Texas, it's cold. Regardless, I planned a quick little getaway to South Texas. Ever since we passed through Seguin a few years ago, I was smitted by that small little town. An ad kept popping up in my feed about Geronimo Creek! Geronimo Creek Retreat is a little area on the North side of Seguin that has cabins, sky cabins, and teepees alongside Geronimo Creek. The place looks absolutely magical and I knew we needed to go there when they had a deal for a weeknd in February while on our school break.
The drive was 3 hours long after a tiring Friday. And we got there late, well past check-in time. However, the kids didn't mind and Gary was just taking the whole thing in never having heard of such a thing, and he wasn't sure what he was getting himself into. His first impression (by the look of his face) was confusion, I think? You see, they're canvas cabins. It's like you're camping out, but more like glamping. And he's not used to that.
Our cabins was plenty big for all five of us, had all the bells and whistles of a hotel room, but with a killer view of the camp. The one caveat was the bathrooms. You had to use a bathroom that was a bit aways, sorta like when you're actually camping. And it was a bit unusual however, because every cabin has an assigned stall with a shower, toilet and sink.
The creek was obviously freezing, but did the kids mind one bit? No they did not. They got their swimsuits on, grabbed a kayak and a life vest and headed out to adventure while chattering their teeth. They were absolutely in heaven even though it was 40 degrees that next morning!
Anyways, Seguin was amazing, as always. We liked driving through, visiting historical sites, browsing through the shops, and eating their amazing food downtown. We decided to eat at Burnt Bean Co. BBQ which had a line coming out of their restaurant wrapping half the block and we thought, "What is the commotion? Something must be happening here today!" But no, it's their normal. Their bbq is world renown and it's THAT good that people make a line outside in a tiny little southern Texas town. We didn't even take pictures because we were just gowing with the flow of everyone enjoying themselves. We meandered inside City Hall to use their restrooms (super deco) and had to take a picture with their largest pecan (again). They have a little park trail by their very cool librabry (amazingly modern), and we walked through it and explored.
We also noticed a few breweries have opened up since our last visit and we had to try one, of course! All of this was hard to leave, just wishing we could spend a little more time at. However, someone (ahem) had coaching duties that he needed to get back to.
Enjoy the pictures!
