a visit to Del Rio



A dear friend of mine, Fritz, and his wife, Stella, are both in the Air Force and stationed in Del Rio, TX. Stella was here in San Antonio for training for a bit, but now she's back in Del Rio and we hadn't seen them for a while, so we decided to take a trip to Del Rio to see their new house and have some quality time with quality friends.

We made the three hour trip over on a Friday after work. The night we got there there was an Air Force party going on in their neighborhood that we walked over to. It was a bunch of fun to hang out with them and meet their friends. The next morning we grabbed breakfast and then took their dog, Wilson, to the lake to play. Later we got some barbeque and went to the local winery to buy some wine and port. We grabbed a bottle of port and went out on the boat. It was a fun, relaxing time to just hang out and talk about memories from the past and also our futures. After the boat ride, we relaxed, made some dinner, and talked for a while.

The next day was Easter and we woke up and made some breakfast and sat in their backyard for a bit. Then we headed over to their (colorful) neighbor's house. Their neighbor's are very unique and have unique design choices, but were wonderful hosts! We had an amazing Easter Lunch and then headed home soon after.

It was a great weekend with great friends. I feel really lucky to have them here to ease us into their Air Force lifestyle. We truly enjoy the time we get to spend with them!
