I don't know about you but as a child I remember the excitement of going to summer camp.  Our grandson, Trey, is making memories at Camp Longhorn for 2 weeks this summer.  We are emailing him through a website they have established and they print out our notes to him and deliver them daily (sure beats sending letters and cards)!  It is a co-ed residential summer camp that lies in the scenic Texas Hill country, 60 miles northwest of Austin. Tex and Pat Robertson founded Camp Longhorn and there are two branches: Camp Longhorn Inks Lake (est. 1939) located on the shore of Inks Lake, along the Colorado River and Camp Longhorn Indian Springs (est. 1975) situated along two lakes fed by natural springs.  Both camps offer over 30 activities for children ages 8-16.  Trey is staying at the Ink's...

Spring is the perfect time of year to discover the small city of Burnet, Texas, which was named the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas by the 67th legislature. The small city is 48 miles northwest of Austin and one mile west of the divide between the Colorado and Brazos River watersheds, in the hills of central Texas. Burnet was settled in the mid-1800's around Fort Croghan, a military facility. The county of Burnet was formed in 1851, and Burnet was named the county seat, although at the time it was called Hamilton. The town was renamed Burnet in 1858, and built around the historic town square, which still features structures built in the 1800's. Some of the attractions of the Burnet area include the Highland Lakes, Longhorn Cavern and State Park, and the Fort Croghan Museum and Grounds. In t...
