Barton Springs



Mom has been anxious to go to Braton Springs since before we even moved here. Barton Springs is a natural spring-fed pool in Zilker Park just a couple miles from us. As a sping-fed natural pool, the temperature is 70 degrees year-round and has a depth over 15 feet in some parts. Dad used to swim there when he was living here as a kid.




It was a beautiful day when Mom and Dad went there and there were a lot of people enjoying the park. Apparently January was a free month to swim (instead of the usual $1 fee).


Mom was very brave according to Dad. She got into the water knowing there were little (and not so little) fishies swimming around. Dad was watching some fish watch him as he was waiting for Mom to get in and she apparently swam right over to him and used his mask to find the fish!!! She even swam all the way across twice, while watching the bottom and watching the fish!!! She was very brave. She is very excited to be so close to Barton Springs and so many different swiming and river tubing places!
