A Unique Day Trip to Fredericksburg, Texas
Fredericksburg, Texas is one of those places I could just keep going back to again and again. Small town Texas charm, German heritage, and amazing wine are just a few of the reasons why. This particular trip to Fredericksburg was not a typical one. Usually, we head out there when spring flowers are blooming, or fall is upon us. This time, I surprised my Husband with a one night stay for his Birthday in late February. We definitely strayed away from our usual agenda of wine tasting, so read on to see what we did on our unique day (Tuesday!) in Fredericksburg, Texas. No Surprise Here This trip was supposed…

Here are my top 7 easy things to do for a relaxed and fun experience. 1. Drink Amazing Coffee & Eat Bagels With so many choices…

I love getting to know the city or country I am visiting. This can be hard to do when you have limited time in a place, which is why I love booking travel experiences.

All You Need to Know – Insider’s Travel Guide to Dripping Springs, TX [Updated 2023]
I love Dripping Springs. If you don’t know already, I live (and play and explore) in this small town outside of Austin, Texas. After living in South Austin for 9+ years the decision to move “out of town” was a tough one for us. But we traded hour-long waitlists at up and coming restaurants for sprawling ranches turned into breweries or wineries, and smaller local places to eat. I think I’ll take it. People are becoming more and more familiar with the Hill Country as one of the top wine trails in the country. Dripping Springs is the beginning of that trail, but we have so much more than wine! I…
