Miles and Miles of Texas

With the bags packed, a supply of diapers and formula for a small army, flip-flops and beach towels in tow and everyone loaded up; the Wheat's headed south towards the Texas coastal town of Port Aransas to enjoy a family vacation with Boo, Pops, Chad, Jen, Booger (Jaycee), and Cody-Man (Cody).

With a long drive ahead of us, we decided to make a mini-vacation out of the road trip and spend Friday night in Shiner, Texas. I have always heard that Shiner is a interesting small town, and I also heard that they make a good Texas beer there......

We could not have asked for a better stopping point for the road trip. We grabbed a room at the Shiner Motel Inn, had dinner at Werner's, and then woke up Saturday morning and had kolaches, donuts, and coffee. We met some great locals and then spent a few hours in the town's central park swinging on the swings, sliding down the slides, having a quick photo shoot at the town's bandstand, and finally just enjoying a morning that was more like a Norman Rockwell painting.
