adam booked a 'lil b&b near fredricksburg for us to stay at over the christmas break.
one of the most memorable parts of our 'lil trip was that at night, the b&b would have a fire going on the outside patio...another couple our age was also staying at the b&b. both nights, we'd meet at the fire and chat for hours. the girl was an elementary teacher, too!
the first day, we ate at a traditional german biergarten. it was perfect weather to sit outside! i, of course, had a traditional german dish but i forgot what it was called!
then, we walked around the town to see the lights at the town's square.
made by hand in germany. truly amazing!
so many of our christmas traditions here in the u.s. originated from germany, so it was neat to be in a "german" town around the holidays!
each level showed a different aspect of christmas. here are the 3 wise men. man, was this impressive!
loving the classy, traditional christmas decor! oh, how i hate tacky christmas decorations.
santa, baby...
the next day, we went to lbj's ranch/house/getaway. lbj was sure a fascinating person. from what it sounded like, he was very opinionated, blunt and knew exactly what he wanted.
lbj proposed to lady bird 1 day after they met! wow, that sure beats the 4 months that adam and i knew each other before we got engaged.
the visit made me so lucky to live in a country where someone can go to being a farmer's boy in a small texas town to...becoming the president! we are all so lucky. counting my lucky stars.
we ate at hondo's, in f-burg for lunch. such an ecsentric place! the owners are the kids of the man who "founded" luckenbauch, texas where "everybody is somebody."
after lunch, we went back to the b & b because it got really cold! for dinner, adam made italian frittata (because we were staying at "the italian place," heh). it was out-of-this-world! 
these miniature mice were left for us in our room the last night of our stay. cheers to a much-needed getaway!
