Morgan Family Trip to Wimberley

The main reason that we left Dubai before the kids' school dismissed for the summer was so that we could get back to Texas in time for our annual Morgan family summer trip. It's always the highlight of our summer, kicked off with our family selfies as we document the road trip there.




This was our first full week in Texas, and this year, my parents had rented a house for us in the Texas hill country in Wimberley. We were so excited to see the "mansion" in the hills, but nothing beat our excitement for seeing the entire family again.





We knew from the descriptions and photos of our rental house that it was no ordinary house. But seeing it in person just blew us away. You name it, this house had it. From the beautiful open floor plan and massive kitchen to the multiple wings with 5 separate bedrooms to accommodate each of our families, we couldn't believe it. And oh my, that VIEW!






The property had a separate building with a huge game room for foosball, ping pong, air hockey, shuffleboard, and a pinball machine, along with a kitchenette, bathroom, and a 3-level media room with 10 comfy recliners and a big movie screen. Awesome!







For the outdoor areas, there was a massive outdoor kitchen and picnic area, firepit, hot tub, and a beautiful sprawling pool overlooking the incredible hill country view. We were in AWE of our home for the week and loved exploring all it had to offer.





 


Of course, our favorite outdoor activity is always the pool. This pool looked beautiful from the photos but was even more fun in person. It had multiple chairs and ledges for lounging as well as soothing waterfalls and a built-in wading area. We always seem to have our favorite times enjoying the sand and conversations (and loads of laughs) out by the pool.










Spending quality family time during our Morgan Family summer trip is always so refreshing, but this year it was extra special for us since we had missed Christmas and other events due to our move to Dubai. The cousins were so happy being together again and never had trouble finding fun to have together. Kaitlynn and Marissa enjoyed special bonding as mermaids, and Connor was talked into an impromptu makeup / glam session. Don't feel too sorry for him...he was paid $10! Ha!
