Vacation day 3

Waking up in a new town is exciting!  I woke up before my alarm ready to go out and walk around :) My husband's Aunt went with me to exercise in San Marcos, Texas! We walked 3 miles and it was awesome.  There is a university there that is gorgeous.  We saw one of the original buildings from the university and just had to walk to it. The view from there was beautiful too!

After a yummy breakfast at the bed and breakfast we stayed at, we headed to visit the town of Gruene  (pronounced Green). A little walking and shopping were on the list of things to do before we met up for lunch :)

The shopping led to me finding the perfect cowboy boots!  Yay!

After lunch and a couple hours in the car, we finally made it to the Ranch! Yay! The place is so pretty. We walked a little more here too! Lots of exercise,  but no Country Heat workouts yet.

Vacation day 2

Welp, exercise is going to be scratched off the list till I am no longer on the train. I was really going to try, but it just isn't possible to do it in a little sleepette. Not only is the room comfy cozy, but I have my carry-on in there too. I have to admit, this has been so relaxing :)
The food on the dining car is amazing!  I really, really love to eat! Being on vacation makes it even more enjoyable!  I had a Greek yogurt cheesecake for dessert yesterday and I loved every bite of it, hehe!

Here are some pictures of what I have had so far.

On Vacation

I am incredibly excited to say that I am officially on vacation! I have the privilege to be a part of a woman's trip to Texas. Waking up at 3:30 am to get ready to be at the train station was actually pretty easy. The excitement of new experiences has got me in hyper-drive or something. This trip has a lot of firsts for me. Riding on a train for longer than a 20 minute tourist scheme, being in Chicago and Texas, staying in a bed and breakfast, being away from my husband and kids for an extended amount of time, and these are  just the ones that I know of.
I have already had the experience of eating in the dining cart on the train and that was a fun experience. The "waiter" was not as pleasant as I had hoped. He was short with us all and brought me coffee and charged me for it even though I didn't ask for it. It didn't go to waste though, I gave it to my mother-in-law :) My meal wasn't the healthiest, but it wasn't too bad. I had a chicken and biscuit sandwich with a fruit cup. I do intend on sticking to my regular diet and exercise routine while I am on this vacation! I hope circumstances allow me to stick to it :)

Stay tuned for more updates!
