Blanco Bowling Cafe, Texas!!

This week I was visiting my Grandma in Spring Branch, Texas. While I was there my mom needed to register my little brother for school in Blanco.  I was excited to go because I used to go to the school when I was a little girl. Blanco has changed some since last time I visited but it is mostly still the same. My grandfather just passed away around thanksgiving so I was happy to remember all the places he used to take me.

Registering him only took a few minutes so we were out of there in no time. I started to get hungry so my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the Blanco Bowling Alley. I said, “no, I don’t feel like bowling I am hungry!”. Turns out the Blanco Bowling Alley is a restaurant and there is no bowling alley at all!


It was alright but the thing that caught my eye was a picture on the table. It was the Blanco Courthouse! I took a tour in there around my brother’s age. All the people there dressed up with wigs and suits from a different time for us. I took a picture of this because it just shows how proud Blanco is of its history.

After we ate we ended up passing by the Blanco River  off 281. It really a beautiful river.  I used to swim in it when I was a baby all the way up until middle school. Now that I have my own child in a few years I will be able to take her to all the places I went too. The great thing about all this is that it is free! You can go to this river for free and view the courthouse free! The only cost to you is gas and food. The food is inexpensive as well.

Christmas time would be a great time to visit because the electric company there has a walk way of lights close by. This is great for family and romantic couples!!!
