Llano, Texas

Posted by Sara on Apr 6, 2009 in Texas, Travel |

A simple hour’s drive west to Texas Hill Country transports us from our day-to-day ho-hum, to a romantic world of rocky cliffs, scrubby cactus and longhorn ranches.

We are at peak season for the Texas bluebonnets and Saturday we drove a loop from Burnet to Lampasis to Llano in search of these wild wonders.

After an afternoon of driving we stopped in the charming little town of Llano.

The Llano River cuts through the heart of this town, and a bridge connects the otherwise divided downtown.

As we walked the pedestrian sidewalk on the bridge, a hot spring sun beat down on us, and we envied the people swimming and splashing in the river.

I perused several of the cute antique shops. Kenny protected the merchandise from Titus’ curiosity.

Have I mentioned that I love the Texas Hill Country?

Whimseys was a very cute store. I didn’t buy anything, but I love going to stores like that for inspiration. Andrea, if you guys get a chance, you should venture to Hill Country. You’d love it.
