"A friendly little drinking town with a tourist problem"

Fredericksburg, Texas. A friendly little drinking town with a tourist problem. The unofficial slogan of this quaint German town is all too perfect. Paul and I decided to get out of town for Memorial Day this year and with Fredericksburg about an hour and half away, we couldn't resist.


We stayed at the cutest little Bed & Breakfast called The Ainsley House and it was a block from Main Street. We enjoyed a crawfish festival with some boudin and Zydeco. We had authentic German food (the schinken schnitzel to be exact!) and relaxed in the 1930's home by ourselves.

Sunday our friends Jessica and Andy came in and got a hotel to join the fun. We did wine tasting, shopping, ice cream, and a 60 oz. rita with some more German food. We took the long hike (8 miles) to Luckenbach for a festival that we discovered ended before we arrived. The normal population of Luckenbach is 3, and there had to be a whopping 30 people there.

Sunday evening we did a little swimming and some board games back at the B&B. It was such a great time and we were not ready to leave Monday morning. On the way back to Austin we stopped with Jess and Andy at a wildflower farm and walked around in 199* weather! (At least it seemed).

All in all, fantastic weekend. Now Paul is back to New York for a week before we drive to New Mexico for a friends wedding!
