Belton Birthday

 For Toby's birthday this year we headed to Belton, Texas. It's a cute little city nearby Lake Belton.

The heat was intense, but we still managed to walk around and enjoy the sites of the city...

We also visited the Bell County Museum...

I'm no Black Lives Matter proponent, but I'm pretty sure during this time it was very unsettling for a person of color and they probably knew what real racism looked like...

This display was in a glassed in area outside of the museum, so with the glass glare it was hard to get a decent picture...

Next, we headed to check out the lake...

It was a fun day and a short drive away. We plan on exploring more of the area when it cools off a bit.

Gardens and Art

Wednesday me and Toby took a day trip to San Antonio.

Our first stop was the Japanese Tea Garden. It was peaceful and beautiful....

The waterfall was so pretty.....

Next, we visited the San Antonio Museum of Art. It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but it was an excellent art museum. If you're into art, I recommend this museum.....

Now that the weather is getting to hot for hiking, we're planning on more day excursions.
