  • We headed 1.5 hours outside of Austin for a little day trip to Fredericksburg, Texas, a cool little German town in the Texas Hill Country. We spent the day hiking up Enchanted Rock, enjoying delicious homemade peach ice cream, and eating German food!

      I know what you mean........The minute my feet leave Texas soil (which is often because I travel a lot) I feel like a part of me is missing. There is just something so magic about Texas. Just pure delight on so many levels. I have had the privilege to live in all 5 climatic zones of this great state for one reason or another and the weather is different in all parts. You get that when you have such a huge state, but my favorite personally is the Hill Country and West Texas. Nothing like it. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way about their state.❤

    The peach stand that they went to is really good. It has really good peaches and some of the best prices. If you want amazing peaches for a super cheap price, drive down Ranch Road 1376 past KOA campgrounds, and there will be a place with a giant sign that says peaches on it. It is run by our gillespie county commissioner. All of the peaches are a really good price, and all of the fruit is organic. He uses his own homemade organic pest repellent that is 100% organic and safe (no pesticides). He is also just a really nice guy to talk to.

    I don't know if my eyes ere messing with me, but that rock actually looked like it was moving, LOL. Don't punch cactus, they bite. My dad has some friends in Fredricksburg, and he said he had some BBQ out there that was smoked using peach wood. Apparently smoking with peach wood adds a whole new flavor to the BBQ, but it's hard to come by peach wood, almost making it a delicacy. We are headed to Enchanted rock right now for some cold weather tent camping. I found y'all again, trying to see if the bathrooms and showers have a heater in there. I guess we will have to film that and put it in our video. Y'all, rock, we love your adventures. Might have to find some peach ice cream this weekend.
