Wimberly, TX: Christmas in Texas With Family

We arrived in Wimberly, TX a few days before Christmas. Wimberly is an upscale, artsy, no-growth town with lots of traffic and street construction. It is seven miles from the home of our daughter, Stephanie and her family, who have a Driftwood address. Husband Steven is an independent contractor, and Stephanie home schools their three children, Jack 11, Lucie 9, and Lincoln, 7. We found a fine campground with reasonable rates and elected to stay until after New Years. This would be the longest stretch of time that we have ever had with these grandchildren. Sharing the holidays with them in their Hill Country home was a special treat. Steve’s sister and her family joined us for Christmas. Watching five children open their presents reminded us so much of the wonderful times we used to have with our own kids. A major difference was that this time we did not have to do the shopping, and Jerry did not have to assemble the toys. Steph and Steve were the perfect hosts, and their good cooking added to the merriment of the season and the length of our belts.
