Urban Outdoor Adventure: Barton Creek

Spring is definitely in the air around here. While other parts of the country are covered in ice and snow, we're  breaking out the shorts and t-shirts and gearing up for another warm season adventure extravaganza. Today we took advantage of the phenomenal weather and ventured south to Austin's Barton Creek. Barton Creek cuts through much of the city. It goes for miles and some of Austin's most beloved swimming holes are on this creek - including Barton Springs.

It was warm enough today for the boys to splash around. I was not prepared for that, or I would have made sure both Gavin and I were wearing our water/trail shoes and brought an extra pair of clothes. Like most labs Holly LOVES the water, and being on the trail always energizes Rocky. He is a trail dog for sure. If Holly were a human she would be more of a beach side resort kind of gal - happy to frolic in the water for a while, and then lounge poolside in a cabana.
