Austin Hill Country Road Trip brings bright bluebonnets and sleet

(Photos above and below of the Austin hill country bluebonnets on the side of the road.) Houston Personal Trainer Melissa found lots of bluebonnets on her road trip recently to the Hill Country of Austin, Texas to start out the day with color and to do some ongoing training with Austin personal trainer Erik. The weather and the color turned cold by night time however as the cheery blue flowers began to be pounded by freezing rain. "It sort of turned into the camping trip from hell" said the cold personal trainer after unloading her tent and supplies in the rain that would not end. "I was really glad to have had heated bathrooms at the campsite" said the personal trainer " I kept going to the bathrooms to run warm water over my freezing hands." But in spite of the rain and thirty two degree, uncommonly cold weather for Texas in April, the personal trainer enjoyed sitting by a campfire, and touring the shops at Longhorn Caverns as well as the stores in Burnett while waiting for the rain to end. She finally gave up and drove back home to Houston and was really glad to see the sunshine again on Sunday.
