We love Fredericksburg. We wish we could move there...if only we had jobs there! We took off a week and enjoyed getting to relax there. We left on a Friday after work and spent the night a couple hours away to space out the driving a little. We got up Saturday morning and headed down the road....and ran out of gas!
This was a first for all of us...never ran out of gas before. We were trying to make it to Buc-ee's and according to the thing on my car that tells you how far you can go, we should have made it. Apparently, that doesn't take into account if you are pulling a trailer :) We called AAA and they sent someone with some gas. He asked Michael "trying to make it to Buc-ee's?" Guess we weren't the first one that it's happened to :)
After about 1-1/2 hours, we were on the way to Buc-ee's again. We filled up, got our lunch and were back on the road again...cheeto face and all.
Ryan all of a sudden started to want to hold our hand some. I loved it!
My parents came to meet us on Sunday and we enjoyed the week together. And since they were there, we got more rest than we would have had it been just the 3 of us! 4 adults and 1 two year old are pretty good odds :)
There was a retired police officer group from Houston that was staying in the same camp ground as we were and on Saturday evening, a few of them were giving a little concert. They sounded really good!
We love the Wildseed Farms there. I have to look at everything and it is just beautiful!
We went to Luchenbach just to see it again....not much to look at :)
Ryan liked the roosters.
Even at noon on Monday, there was a man outside playing his guitar and singing.
We went to San Antonio and visited the Alamo...it is the 175th anniversary this year of the battle at the Alamo.
This tree was amazing to me! It is behind the Alamo (I think..or maybe beside it). I wish I knew how old it was.
We ate lunch at the Alamo Cafe and Ryan ate his first Alamo Cafe tortilla :) (they are the best, if you were wondering :)
We did a lot of driving around seeing all the beautiful country around there. And looking at the amazing homes there...and dreaming about buying one. I am serious. I was a little obsessed this trip!
This was up on the hill where you can see the bats. We didn't stay to see them that night mostly because it was chilly and we weren't prepared for being outside.
Another day, we spent a lot of time at all the shops on Main Street. It is just the cutest town. Another day, Dad and Michael spent a few hours in the World War II museum they have there. They were super impressed and enjoyed it a lot. Mom, Ryan and me visited a CUTE herb farm that has little cottages you can rent....and of course, we drove around looking at homes :)
It was warm at the beginning of the week but a cool front came through on Thursday and dropped the temps a lot.
One very cool thing about staying at Ladybird Johnson State Park is there is a small airport right beside it and there are small planes in and out of there all the time. Ryan really enjoyed seeing all of that. He would wave and say "bye bye plane".
They also have a very cool hotel at the airport and a diner. We had been there before and were looking forward to taking Ryan.
When we were sitting at our table, the airplanes were right outside the window.
We had such a great week! Mom and dad kept Ryan for an evening and Michael and I went to eat and listen to a band we saw playing at another restaurant.
P.S. I have to say how AMAZING Ryan did on the drive home! He was so good! He was happy and playful almost the whole way home...we were amazed!
