Our weekend trip pics

We had a really great weekend! JM has been wanting to go take pictures of the bluebonnets - apparently, that is a big deal here in TX, everyone goes and gets there pictures taken in the bluebonnet fields - I would have never have known that until living here. But anyway, we decided to go to Fredericksburg, TX - and the area known as "hill country." Fredericksburg is a small town (pop 8911), but it was a really cute town.

They had some fabulous shopping on this Main street area. It was really neat because there were tons of people around that area and Friday night we got there just in time to go walk along the streets and eat over there. This first picture is the shopping area. I love taking picures of JM taking pictures, if you haven't noticed. :)

On Saturday morning, we went back so we could actually go in some of the stores that were closed on Friday night. I FINALLY used my Ergo baby carrier - omigosh, why haven't I used this before? It was so nice not to have to worry about navigating a big ole stroller through the small stores and Jenna even fell asleep in it for a while. And not to mention, it was also comfortable!!!!

On Saturday afternoon, we headed out to our main destination - WildSeed Farms - this place was absolutely gorgeous! Southern Living magazine named it one of the top ten Texas garden centers. What's ironic is that we went for bluebonnet pics - but we ended up seeing even prettier flowers so we took pictures with those instead. They even had a little butterfly garden area. It was so pretty!

And then Saturday night, JM wanted to see what the Willow City Loop (also part of the hill country) was all about. It's a 13 mile circle that you can see the hills below and drives through people's ranches. We kept seeing signs that said "loose livestock" and finally we got to see what that meant! We saw a bull, tons of cows, and even a pretty dear all from our car window. And yes, they were that close!

On Sunday, we had to say goodbye to our pretty hotel room. We both loved this sink so I had to take a picture of it. We also even put Jenna in it for a bath on both nights!

And then on Sunday, we decided to go back to Wildseed to try and take a couple of more pictures. These flowers are Larkspurs and they were absolutely beautiful. Hopefully, JM will post a bunch of his pics or I'll try and post some more here too because you have to see just how pretty they were!
