My mom and I just returned from a “girls’ weekend” in bustling Kyle, Texas where we stayed at the delightful Inn Above Onion Creek. I enjoy spending time with my mom no matter what we’re doing, but this weekend was particularly lovely because it involved some of my favorite things… a trip to the spa, good food and wine, incredible sunsets, rocking chairs, great conversation, sleeping in late, and reading (I rotated between the the two extremes of People magazine and Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth). Here are some photos from our weekend:
The Inn
The resident cat spent most of his time lounging by the pool.
The beautiful Mandola Winery was a short 5-minute drive from the Inn.
In the tasting room, we sipped on 6 varieties of Mandola wine. Here I am contemplating a glass of Dolcetto. According to the menu, “red raspberry and cherry reach the nose and palate simultaneously bringing a sweet smile of satisfaction.” (Photo courtesy of Beth Fulton – a.k.a. my mom.)
Back at the Inn, we enjoyed a Texas hill country sunset. My beautiful mom:
We had a great time and I would highly recommend The Inn Above Onion Creek anytime you’re looking to relax and get away from it all. I’m already plotting a trip back there with Garrod!
