About an hour outside of Austin is a little artist town called Wimberely. The town is known for it's galleries, glass blowing, and a cobalt blue creek that runs through the middle of town. It is also home to "Pioneer Town" which is a bunch of Old-West style abandoned buildings lined up to create a fake eerie ghost town. It felt like a set straight from Universal Studios. As a matter of fact, a lot of the drive there felt like we were back in time on the set of a Hollywood Western. We took a scenic drive and walked around the shops before having an early dinner at Cypress Creek Cafe. What drew us to Wimberely was its 6-acre display of a Christmas light wonderland. We had heard it was fantastical, but weren't sure exactly what to expect. With the weather in the 50s, we meandered through the winter lights, full of all kinds of displays that would have made Clark Griswold proud. Morgan took a ride on the tractor train and we had hot chocolate and roasted marshmellows before heading back home.
