Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I stayed for two nights to celebrate our 19yr anniversary. We got a bike ride in on the Katy and checked out local watering holes. The Katy Caboose was cute. We enjoyed the deck on a beautiful starry night.

The Caboose was nice and cute. But I was not able to get there until much later in the day, and it was so dark out where the caboose is located, that I could not find it for a bit. It would be nice to have a light left on outside. I was not there much, I was at my sisters wedding for most of the weekend, but it did the job. I liked that there were snacks you could purchase.

Just what we needed

We REALLY needed an overnight stop in Hartsburg while biking the Katy Trail! About 20 miles per day is our limit!!! Your emergemcy stash of food for sale covered our lunch need, while we waited for the restraunt to open for supper. The caboose is a cute stay but probably way more comfortable when it is not so hot outside. The a/c made a valient effort to manage the temp. Thanks so much!
