Hyatt Lost Pines-Austin


Before James left for Utah we took a trip down to Austin. We stayed at an awesome resort and had a blast! As we drove out there we couldn't believe that there could possibly be a big hotel out in the middle of nowhere. We just kept taking farm roads and were passing dozens of random homes/businesses and trailers. Then we spotted the sign and drove at least two miles in, past pine trees (haven't seen those since we left Flagstaff!) before we arrived. We checked in, put on our swimsuits and spent a couple of hours playing in the lazy river/pool/fountain. Our kids were in heaven. We ate dinner, roasted s'mores (even though it was over 100 degrees), walked along the Colorado river, swam some more and then finally went to bed. The next day, we sadly checked out and headed down to the outlets in San Marcos. James was a good sport. Then we had amazing hamburgers at Centerpoint Grill which recommended by Christine. (Anytime she tells you something is good/worth seeing/doing, you can bet it really is!) We headed back home but not before we stopped in downtown Austin for Mexican Vanilla ice cream at Amy's!

Good luck, Chris! What is your blog address? We had to replace our hard drive and lost everything! I don't know when we'll be in SLC yet.
