Wimberley weekend

My GF's and I just returned from a wonderful, relaxing and fun weekend to the hill country. 

Destination... Wimberley, Texas. 

I have always loved this small town with all it's character, charm and beautiful scenery and it had been many years (too long), since I had been there.

The weather was perfect, the place we stayed at was perfect and the scenery...well, PERFECT!

If you are planning a trip there soon, here are some very good recommendations for "must do" and  "must eat" places.
