Fredericksburg - Texas

North of San Antonio and west of Austin lies our F destination of Fredericksburg,Texas.

 

 

 

 Known for its German heritage and its surrounding wine country, Fredericksburg is a wonderful place to escape for a bit of weekend shopping or wine tasting.  

 

 

 Main Street is lined with "Old West" architecture. It almost takes you back to the mid 1800s when Frederickburg was founded. If only those trucks lining the street were horses, right??

 

 

 

 But my favorite part of visiting Fredericksburg, was this beautiful garden found in the middle of town.

 

Gardens, architecture and wine, who could ask for more from a small Central Texas town!

LETTER A

 

I've been pondering how much and what to write about the places I'll share in the next 30 days and have decided to keep things fairly short and share my favorite three things about each place I've visited. Although they may not always go hand in hand with the pictures, they may give you a peek into both the place and to me.

 

Now...let's get started!

Austin has a special place in my heart, as I lived there for 13 years beginning in 1999. Its skyline may have changed over time as the city continues to grow and prosper, but the city is still as friendly as I remember!

 

The (University of)Texas Longhorns football team is probably my favorite thing about Austin or maybe it's how Austin and all of Texas take their football seriously. Regardless, you'll find me in burnt orange most every Saturday during football season.

 

 

 

 A long walk around what I know as Town Lake(now called Ladybird Johnson Lake) in the Spring is another favorite. The wildflowers are beautiful and it's always nice to see Stevie Ray!

 

 

 

 

The food in Austin rounds off my favorites. Their Tex Mex makes my mouth water, and the BBQ is some of the best in Texas!

 

 

From the football to the food, and let's not even get started on the live music, Austin is definitely a wonderful place to visit(and even live)!
