On Saturday we drove 225 miles to Fredericksburg, with some pretty intense rain on I-10 just outside of Houston. We stopped in Bastrop (“the most historic small town in Texas”) along the way to eat our leftover pizza for lunch. After checking in to our very cute hotel we took a slow walk (it was over 90 degrees) along Main Street to Eaker Barbecue. Unfortunately, they were only serving a limited menu so we shared non-traditional but delicious half a smoked chicken along with extremely tasty green beans and Brussels sprouts. We followed up with a wine tasting in the garden at Pontotoc Winery.
Sunday started out with chores: Meg went for a jog while the temperature was still in the low 70’s, we grabbed breakfast burritos, then headed to the local laundromat to do our wash. After a mid-morning break to go pick up peaches (and peach cider!), Meg did a bit of work. We closed out the day wandering the local shops and then drove to Llano for dinner at Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que for some traditional Hill Country barbecue.
