"Tonight the answer's Austin, for the Comal County Blue..."

That's right - tomorrow after work I am headed to one of my favorite places: The Texas Hill Country.  We're floating the Comal Saturday and I could not be more excited.  I definitely need a little vacation from my hectic schedule and floating down a river is exactly the cure, I think!

I absolutely adore river trips.  Something about being surrounded by nature with your best friends, listening to country music, a cold beer in your hand, and the sun beating down on you is just magical.  I've been floating rivers since I was so young I can't remember my first time.  Although it's definitely evolved over the years, the relaxing, yet exciting, feeling I get every time has stayed the same!

Here's a little tribute to some of my many river trips:

Ok.  And now I'm tired of looking through my pictures to find others.  I haven't floated the Guadelupe in years being that it is always so low but I'm bummed I couldn't find a picture of it - it's where I got my floating start!  Obviously I'm somewhat of a 'river bum' and would definitely live on one of these beautiful pieces of nature if I could.  But alas, I must settle for my frequent summer trips to satisfy my craving.  Speaking of, I'm off to pack for said river trip!  Below is a little video clip to get you in the river mood!
