New Braunfels, Texas 2015

January and February had mostly been snowy or cold or cold AND snowy and I just wanted to be warm again so Himself and I planned a week of vacation in New Braunfels.  New Braunfels is near San Antonio and close to Austin so we were sure we would find plenty to do, enough day trips and some warm weather to make us happy and keep us busy. 

So we made reservations, packed our bags and waited for the appointed day. 

Arising about 6 on the day of departure, we were astounded to learn that the weather forecasters slipped freezing rain in the Texas weather predictions.  What to do?  What could we do, we threw the bags in the Dodge and headed south. 

We hit it hard.  Only stopped for gas.  We had Gramma's beef salad and crackers in the cooler.  After gassing up around noon, we pulled over, ate a few bites and forged ahead.  We made it to Kansas City before Weather Guru spotted the first snow flake.  That's all it was until we got to southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma when it snowed right down for a while.  It flurried, spit, snowed and squalled.  Thankfully, it being Sunday, Nascar Day and Oscar night, traffic was light.
