Fredericksburg Getaway Day One: The Drive

For the 4th of July Garrett and I wanted to go on a little trip. We decided to pick somewhere in the great state of Texas, and settled on Fredericksburg. The trip was amazing from the beginning. We took the scenic route and just enjoyed the Texas Hill Country and each others' company the whole way there.

It was pretty late in the afternoon by the time we got there, but we still made time for a few things before the sun went down. First we went to Wildseed Farms, which has acres and acres of wildflowers, a nursery and a butterfly sanctuary. It was close to closing time by the time we got there so it was pretty empty, which made it even more romantic. : )

After Wildseed farms we went back to the hotel, got dressed up and went to a wonderful restaurant called Cabernet Grill. The food was amazing- Garrett even got me to try escargot, which I really liked, believe it or not! After dinner we went to a bar and listened to some live, Texas country on the patio. Garrett even got me to dance-once. I was too nervous to really enjoy myself as I am an AWFUL dancer. Garrett is a wonderful dancer, so I want to practice so we can dance together often. After the bar it was late, so we went back to the hotel for some rest!
