Lucas and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary last weekend! Our tradition is that we take turns every year in planning a surprise for the other one. It was Lucas' turn this year, and he picked me up early from work on Friday and took me out to Fredericksburg, in the hill country about an hour past Austin.
It's a beautiful little historic town, and in the 1800s was the centre of German immigration in Texas. We stayed in a little cottage with an outdoor spa, enjoyed the town's shops and restaurants, and also played Scrabble with the lovely wooden set that was my anniversary present from Lucas. I was so excited to see some great Texas storybook stereotypes the further we got out in the country....an archway over a ranch with blue sky, little cows on little green hills; large men in plaid shirts with cowboy hats and enormous moustaches; women with twangy accents and big hair :)
Happy anniversary! (a bit late):/ Can't believe it's been five years!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting that you got to go see some 'real' Texas (or stereotypical Texas?:p)...complete with cowboys! Sounds like a lovely trip.
