10 Year Anniversary Weekend

Matt and I made use of some free hotel nights in the Hill Country on our anniversary weekend and went away to celebrate our 10 years together. Maw Maw and Paw Paw graciously watched all three kiddos while we were gone.

Did you catch that? All three kiddos. Yes, I went off and left Jacey for an entire weekend. Wow.



Anyway, we had a relaxing weekend and just enjoyed being together without having to wipe someone's nose or bootie, which is rare for us.

Here is a recap of our weekend, primarily in photos.  Most of them center around food...but the food was really good!  Unfortunately, I just realized that I didn't take any pictures of the picnics and sandwiches that sustained us for the majority of the weekend, but oh well!

Friday night we walked around Fredericksburg and window-shopped. We went to eat at Auslander and had the first meal of a weekend that included some really good German cuisine.


We went to the downtown area and admired all of the festive Christmas lights as well.



Saturday morning we made our way to breakfast at Save Inn in Kerrville.  We ate there on Sunday morning as well. Great breakfast, and you know it's good if it's packed with locals and cops (eating, not patrolling)...means good and quick service!


We went to the Pacific Museum on Saturday for a while, then walked around the town.


One stop we had to make was to the Rather Sweet Bakery. Here's a picture of the delectable goody Matt and I shared and a picture of the storefront.



Later on Saturday night, we ate at Der Lindenbaum and here is a picture of my fabulous meal and the storefront.



And a picture of our dessert....yummy goodness with icing so rich neither Matt nor I could eat it all. And that fact alone should tell you something!


We were blessed with passes to the Christmas show at Rockbox. I highly recommend it and if we're able to get passes again, it's worth it to plan a trip to the Hill Country around this show. Really. Good, clean, family friendly fun!


On Sunday after breakfast, we leisurely made our way to Fredericksburg, stopping to see a few sights on the way.


We have a few shots of this particular cross, which is the first of what appears to be a large prayer garden project. It was H-U-G-E, as if you can't tell from the tiny two people standing near the base of it.  I have some hilarious pictures of Matt running toward me to get this picture, as we had to have the camera on a timer and taking two - yes two - pictures to actually get the entire thing in frame.



This was just a cool (large) piece of art made from scraps (hence the license plate 'Scrappy') and it thought it was so neat that we pulled over on the side of the road to take pictures of it!

We then went to the Pacific Combat Zone guided tour, which I highly recommend.


I just love this phrase....very appropriate for wartime, don't you think?

Then we went around the town square again to get some pictures to commemorate the weekend.......




All in all, it was a wonderful anniversary celebration!
