Saturday morning we hit up the Outdoor Living Tour and were both quite impressed with the setups of some of the homes.
Another great thing about going out to these Home Tours is discovering cool little neighborhoods in places you wouldn’t expect. We left inspired with ideas for our own backyard but they’ll most likely have to wait until after the wedding 
On Sunday, we also attended the Hill Country Food and Wine Festival in Driftwood. Apparently, this was held near the grounds of Salt Licks new vineyard.
They have a huge amount of land, and the vineyard itself looks to go on for acres and acres. We presume the Salt Lick BBQ restaurant will soon be serving up their very own branded wine in the not too distant future.
The festival itself was a lot of fun, and Christy and I enjoyed sampling new wine varieties and blends. Definitely something we’ll do again next year.
Pictures of both events are in the photos section.
Now looking forward to next week, when my friends from Plano come into town for a visit.
Hello! My name is Chris and I'm an engineer and a photographer / contributor for Apartment Therapy. In high school my artistic side took a back seat as I pursued a career in math and science. Blogging, however, gives me the chance to bring that creative side front and center again. I'm a native Texan, living in Austin, and love all the things you'll find in a modern metropolis - technology, design, food, and the arts. I hope those interests come together here in pieces you enjoy reading. Thanks for stopping by.
