Its been nearly a month since our trip, but Hank and I returned to the cabin in September. Unfortunately, Tyler couldn’t take off work to join us but we weren’t all alone there. Traci (Ty’s sister) and Ainsley (our niece) were there along with Tyler’s parents. It was great fun spending time with everyone and a wonderful change of scenery and climate, so fabulous to get out of the Texas heat for a while. We really missed Tyler though… Once again, Hank was an excellent traveler and I felt very very blessed. Here are some photos from our trip in no particular order:
