The Inn at Dos Brisas

We had a great time at the Inn at Dos Brisas with the executive team of Jerry's bank.  They needed to have an off-site strategy session and we all wanted to go out to Chappel Hill and stay at Dos Brisas, so we combined the two for a fun 24 hours ... wish we could have stayed longer.

 

We arrived and had a nice lunch in the dining room, then "the girls" hung out on the patio until check-in time while "the guys" were in a meeting.

Around 3pm we were able to check-in to our individual haciendas ...

We had a lovely dinner, followed by a valiant attempt at a campfire ... the wood was too wet and I checked out earlier than those who actually saw it glowing!

 

Woke up early Saturday morning to watch a spectacular sunrise, then headed out on a long run to the entrance gates and back ... LOTS of hills!

 

 

 

Beautiful scenery on my run ...

Each guest receives one activity per day - could be horses, skeet shooting, organic farm tour, wine discussion, etc. We had several guests not participating, so O.K. Estes (local horse expert) put on a Cutting Horse Demo in the arena and afterwards Jerry and I rode for about an hour with one of the staff members. 

 

This Horse Barn is Awesome!

Rolling Hills & Horse Pastures

 

Once the horses were back in the barn, we headed over to watch the Skeet Shooting.

 

Andy Lane was Shooting Clay Like an Expert

Brenda's First Time Skeet Shooting was a Success
(she did confess that her eyes were closed on a few shots)

Joe Stubbs Closed Out the Activity Shooting Lots of Clay

 

It was a short trip, but we had a good time and they actually got a lot of work done on Friday afternoon.  We're ready to go back and stay longer ...
