Max's Wine Dive

We've been on a food tour of Texas and enjoying every minute of it! First we discovered Chicken N Waffles at Paggi House and now we've discovered Alligator Apps at Max's Wine Dive. This place had over an hour wait but was worth every minute. They have an amazing wine list, food selection and ambiance. It was perfect for Shaun's date with two lovely ladies ;)

Third Years a Charm

Another year another great anniversary ;) We spent our first anniversary in Paris so I thought that would be impossible to top but each year keeps getting better! Last year we were lucky enough to celebrate our anniversary in the Dominican Republic with Jamie & Annie who got married a month before us. Not only were we in great company but we were living like Rock Stars in Villas & the Penthouse Suite. This year we decided to stay local and explore more of Central Texas. We rented a cabin for the weekend in Fredericksburg, TX and enjoyed all the wonders of this small German town; wineries, breweries, shops, outdoors, live music, & some much needed R&R. Shaun found the most amazing cabin which I feel in love with, that alone made the weekend. The place was perfectly decorated and I really wish we owned it, I wouldn't change a thing. The cabin had a wrap around porch with rocking chairs, large fenced in yard for Cali to play, a private deck off the master suite with a hot tub, and no television. Yes, I enjoyed a weekend with no television ;) It was just so great to just spend the weekend together and reflect on the last three amazing years!

Gruene Hall

We have discovered one of our new favorite day trips! Gruene, TX is the most charming historic town we've seen yet. On the weekends they have a market set-up with various vendors & artists that compliment the shops that line Hunter Rd. But the best part of all is the rustic barn at the end of the strip, Gruene Hall. This is one of the oldest dance halls in Texas and has been home too many legendary country artists. You can walk in any day and no doubt will find fun and entertainment! We will be going back a lot!!!

Fourth and Fireworks

What's the Fourth of July without Fireworks?!?! Well we almost found out. The drought hit Austin hard this year and we've been under water restrictions and fire bands all summer. Leading up to the holiday, firework celebrations just kept getting cancelled left and right but lucky for us there was still one town in the area that was going to sparkle. Thanks Georgetown for saving the day!
