We took the kids to Smithville, Texas a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to go check it out ever since someone told me that is where they filmed the movie Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock. It is a neat little town - a small town! They have a train museum and train park, which we knew Grady would be interested in. We ate at Pockets Grille (pictured below), a restaurant that bought a lot of the props from Hope Floats. The restaurant was pretty busy, but overall - not a lot going on in Smithville. It was a nice break from the constant busy-ness of Austin. Pockets was right beside the town fire station, which Grady was so excited about.
We saw a really cute bed and breakfast, called the Katy House (pictured),
and a cool little bar called Huebel's that was in the movie.
