Fredericksburg, TX and LBJ’s Ranch

Today is our third anniversary.  To celebrate and reflect back on our three years of marriage, we spent this past weekend in Fredericksburg, TX.   Set in the beautiful Hill Country, Fredericksburg is a small town that has an ideal Main Street stretch and offers plenty to do in the local area.

After settling into our room at the Fredericksburg Inn and Suites on Friday afternoon, we walked down Main Street and had dinner at the Navajo Grill.  I would easily put that place in the top 5 restaurants I have ever been to.  It is probably the only restaurant I have ever thought to be under-priced… so yeah, I would HIGHLY recommend it.

On Saturday we drove about 18 miles out to LBJ’s Ranch.  The ranch is in a beautiful area and we really enjoyed touring it.  The one thing that really struck me about the ranch was its simplicity.  Apart from the Presidential Seals and the pictures, I would have never guessed that, at one time, the President of the U.S. lived there.  Interestingly enough, Johnson spent 25% of his presidency at the ranch.

After the ranch, we went back to Main Street were we had lunch, walked around and visited some of the various shops, and enjoyed a wine tasting at one of the wineries.

Our Saturday evening was spent at the Inn’s pool and hot tub… a little R&R.

Before leaving town, we stopped at Das Peach Haus to get some peaches.

We are very thankful for the three years God has blessed us with and we are excited about what He has in store for us.
