Fort Davis Vacation Day 2

Its actually the 3rd day of our vacation as I'm writing this post. Yesterday was very busy and I spent some time putting together a little video of our hike (below). We spent the late morning and early afternoon hiking a long trail in the Fort Davis State Park. It was tiring but rewarding hike. After the hike, we went to the Black Bear Lodge in the state park to have lunch. The Black Bear Restaurant is a good place to eat. The food was good and the service was wonderful.

We spent the later part of the afternoon in Fort Davis shopping and hanging around. Karen found a thrift store, which she always enjoys.

Jon came down with a bad headache and not feeling well that evening. It was either him pushing too hard on the hiking trail or eating too much at the Black Bear Restaurant. We gave him some medicine for his headache and let him sleep all night. He is much better this morning and even had a good breakfast with Karen and me.

Here's the video of the hike in Fort Davis State Park.

Vacation in Fort Davis - Start of Day 2

Karen and I were up early this morning. We wanted to watch the sunrise. The biggest challenge was finding due east. For some reason, every time I come here I lose track of directions. It usually comes back after a day or so. Anyhow, we got up, made coffee and sat on the porch here at Hope's Ranch and watched the sun rise, listened to the bird's chirp and talked about the boys.

Speaking of the boys ... they are still in bed. Well, two of them are. Jason is up taking a shower. I believe they have become used to sleeping in until late morning this summer so getting up at 7AM is not happening. Since the boys are still sleeping, I'm thinking were in for a late morning/early afternoon hike. Possibly starting at the National Historic Site and venturing out from there. I believe this is a fairly easy trail. We've decided no big hikes this year. We're here mostly just to relax.

So, here we go with Day 2.
