Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

This past weekend we headed down I-35 with Austin's sister, Lauren and her BF Colby to Fredericksburg for Austin's cousin's wedding and a Trantham Family Reunion. It was such a neat wedding! We took our time sight seeing along the way and even attended the first ever Hat Festival in Luckenbach. There was a super fun line up with Micky and the Motor Cars, Deryl Dodd and good ole Gary P. Nunn. Our first stop on 35 was at the Style Station outside of Waco. So many fun vintage outfits and other antiques... Showing some Baylor Love

Since we had to drive through Waco, the only place to stop is George's for a BIG-O.

We arrived in Fredericksburg just in time for dinner and stopped by a cute little wine bar for a cocktail and had a German feast at the Auslander Biergarten. A little spitzel, spatzel....and some great German beers.

After a long night, we met Austin's mom and dad at the Silver Creek Cafe for brunch and enjoyed another tasty German meal. A round or two of Bloody Mary's later, we headed out to Luckenbach!



Finally in Luckenbach Texas with Willy and Waylon and the boys....
Luckenbach is such a great place to relax and be outside with fun people. Austin and I visited a couple of years ago and had the best time, just learning all the history, listening to live music, eating great food and of course drinking a little Shinerbock.

After our first round at Luckenbach, we headed back to FBurg for Shea's wedding. They had such a special ceremony and reception decorated with beautiful wildflowers, and we sipped on spiked lemonade served out of mason jars with cute red and white straws and the best BBQ in town! It was so neat and relaxing. It was an Aggie wedding, which I am still learning about all the Aggie traditions, songs and yells. The grooms cake was a hoot!

We took the scenic route on the way back to Big D to avoid the dreaded Sunday drive on 35. We stoped at the Blue Bonnet Cafe for brunch and even stopped at the Koffee Kup Restaurant in Hico for a piece of pie called The Doctor's Office. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the Texas Hill Country. It was a great break from Dallas.
