For the past four years, Mom and I have spent a long weekend at the Lake Austin Spa in Austin, TX. We love it. It's relaxing, the food is yummy, the yoga and activity classes are enjoyable, the other guests are always interesting and the pool in the pool barn is shady and addicting.
I've never taken a camera before, but this year I took some practice shots with my new Cannon 5D Mark II. I think they turned out pretty well. All in all, I don't think I really captured what it's like to go to this place or how Mom and I keep going back to the same spa resort but always end up with a different experience.
Enjoy!

I don't know what you're talking about the pictures "not capturing the place," I want to go to there right NOW! Looks lovely. Katie, these are beautiful pictures. I especially love the cat one.
Mom is ready to go back!
I like the cat too! There is stuff that I didn't even take pictures of, like the pool barn and the other really cool rooms, or our hotel room! I guess I'll have to get those next time :)
I have never been on a spa vacation or even been to a spa. Looks sooo nice. Your pics definitely make me wish I could drop everything and go there right now!
