Rainbow Courts

I realize not everyone lives in Texas, but this discovery is worth posting in case you ever visit anywhere in Central Texas.  Rockdale, Texas is a small town northeast of Austin and even though I've grown up near this town, I've always thought it was just a spot in the road.

The Rainbow Courts Motel is a hidden treasure - it was started in 1912 as a "camp" and has retained its historic value but is soooooo charming.  Some of the original buildings are part of the motel, and we ended up in one of the apartments housed in a very old house that has been furnished with great furniture and every attention to detail.

The grounds include white Adirondack chairs on lush green lawns, and each unit is so darn cute!  We are so pleased with the price and the accommodations!

And besides that...we drove out a few miles from town to a cool Icehouse with great outdoor seating!
