Fredricksburg Weekend

This weekend we celebrated my dad's 57th birthday down in the Hill Country. It has become a family tradition to enjoy a getaway weekend the last weekend of July. It is a great mid-summer break and time to wish Dad a happy birthday while making memories together. It was James' first vacation and we all had a blast hanging out as usual. Some highlights from our fun trip....

Beer tasting at a microbrewery. Daniel reports that the beer was not "manly beer" but that this place was lots of fun!


One of the many beautiful animals roaming around the grounds at our bed and breakfast. The B&B also had lots of sheep and a donkey on their property. Loved it!


Self-portrait while hiking up Enchanted Rock. We didn't go to the top but plan to go back and camp out when it is cooler. One of the most amazing views we had ever witnessed....



What can be better on a summer day than snowcones?



James with two of his favorite people - Nana and Granddaddy!




The Grange Hall, which once served as a church, school and refuge from possible Indian attacks. Originally built in the 1840s.
