Salado Picnic


Today is another unusually warm February day, perfect for a picnic in the park. We headed up busy I-35 (those of you who travel that interstate highway know it's just plain redundant to say "busy I-35") to the community of Salado, a favorite with weekend shoppers.

It was shopping but picnicking in our plans today, though. We headed to the banks of Salado Creek and ate by the statue of Sirena that stands in the spring-fed waters. Sirena wasn't alone today, though; at her mermaid tail swam hundreds of hungry little perch.

After our picnic, it was time to check out Salado. We strolled the Main Street, checking out some of the new shops (there are now over 100 specialty shops in town) and exploring some old favorites. We saved time to check out the town's accommodations as well including one of our longtime favorites: the Stagecoach Inn, which is known not only for its guest rooms but also its fine dining.

On a warm February day like today, though, a picnic in the park is as fine a dining experience as anyone could hope to enjoy.
