Milton Reimer’s Ranch is just about my favorite place to go in Dripping Springs. When we first started exploring it I found out that they had an observatory program that you could attend and view the planets and stars. It had been closed for the last two years because of the pandemic and staffing issues,...
The best part about living in Dripping Springs is that you are in between the Texas Hill Country and the big city! You can drive 30 minutes to a remote state park or 30 minutes the other way and experience the bustling downtown capital of Texas! When we first moved to Dripping Springs a few...
This morning I ventured out to Westcave Preserve off of Hamilton Pool road in Dripping Springs for a little local sightseeing. This preserve is 76 acres right off of the Pedernales River and has been restored to its natural beauty since it was purchased in 1974. I had always heard of this beautiful place, but...
My husband and I are suckers for zoos and aquariums. Give us up close and personal nature and animals and we are sold!!! We were so delighted to have found the Johnson City Exotic Resort Zoo and Safari when we moved to this area a few years ago. You can hand feed over 500 different...

Jacob’s Well is one of Texas’ most famous swimming holes and it was definitely on our summer bucket list! It is located 13 miles south of Dripping Springs close to Wimberley and is one of the coolest places I’ve seen! You are able to hike the 81 acre park for free and walk to the...
The first time I heard of Wimberley’s Blue Hole was in Texas Monthly magazine about 15 years ago. I’ve always been a swimmer and nature lover and this article on Texas’ best kept secret swimming holes became a permanent photograph in my head. I wanted to visit them ALL! My Aunt Bren had just opened...
Wanderin Star Farms… I can’t say enough good things about this property, business and family who run it.
