We spent the week after Christmas exploring new parts of Texas with Grandma and Papa.
The Texas State Capital in Austin
Rudy’s BBQ lived up to all our expectations. Truly the Best “Worst BBQ in Texas”
We toured the Lindon B. Johnson Presidential Ranch and Texas White House. It was an hour drive from San Antonio and well worth the visit.
Enjoying a picnic lunch out in the gorgeous December weather.
The girls enjoyed seeing the long horn cattle with the presidential brand emblazoned on their horns.
L.B.J’s Air Force One
Presenting the future President of the United States of America
After the tour we drove through the Hill Country and stumbled upon the small town of Fredericksburg.
It was a darling town. One might even call it “quaint”- which is quite a feat for Texas. It still couldn’t hold a candle to New England but the amazing Mexican food made up the difference.
My girls go berserk when they see statues of animals and can’t leave until we take a picture of them riding on it. I don’t get it but it does make for fun pics.
We drove home by way of Johnson City- best name ever!
They had the most spectacular light display I have ever seen.
This picture does not begin to do those trees justice. It was breath taking.
My friend is a river boat captain and he gave us an amazing tour of the River Walk. We got to go the entire length which took several hours round trip. The best part was going through the locks at the dam. It was tons of fun.
A few other highlights included my Mom playing the piano for me while I sang in Church, Grandma and Papa taking the girls to see Tangled and just spending time playing and laughing together at home. We loved their visit and can’t wait until they can come again.

If you want good mexican, you should find Taco, Taco cafe, in San Antonio. We went there with my in-laws because we saw it showcased on food network, and holy cow--I swear I would fly down there just for their puffy tacos!! A little hole in the wall place, but it was DIVINE! They had funky hours though, if I remember, so google it before you go. You. Won't. Be. Disappointed!
