My cousin Erika got married at a beautiful hill country property in Fredericksburg. Unfortunately I attended without Forrest and the kids. We had just been to Texas two weeks before for spring break and had plans to go to Wimberley three weeks later for Bryan's wedding, so it was just too hard for them to make the trip again. So, I flew in and went with my dad. We had a wonderful time - what a great wedding date he is!
We drove from Dallas to Fredericksburg on Saturday morning and we ate very well on the way. For breakfast we stopped at the Waffle House - a favorite for Dad and me.
After breakfast, we kept on making our way to Fredericksburg. It must have been the good conversation, but my dad seemed to forget that he was low on gas. We realized the situation when we were about 20 miles outside of Granbury. The "gauge to empty" said we had 16 miles left. As the miles ticked off, I think Dad got a little more worried. Sure enough, before we got to Granbury the dashboard screen showed 0 miles to empty. But alas, we rolled in to a gas station 4 miles later.
For lunch we ate at a wonderful little restaurant in Johnson City called the Hill Country Cafe. It's one we've eaten at before and they're famous for their chicken fried steaks. They advertise "10's sold" or something like that.
When we got to the wedding itself, we were wowed. The property was owned by someone in Brandon's family and is in a pretty remote area. We drove deep into the hill country then parked our cars outside their property. Then a shuttle bus drove us from there down a one lane road that wound up and down hills to their house. Once we arrived, we were rewarded with stunning Hill Country views.
Look at my handsome date! We had a wonderful time together that day.
Before the wedding, we all hung out in the cocktail area and visited with our family. It was so great to see everyone......well not everyone. In addition to my husband and kids, Bart's kids couldn't attend, and perhaps most notably, my mother. This was right in the "crunch time" for her tax season work so she couldn't get away for this wedding. I know she was sick about it and it certainly wasn't as much fun without her. Boo! But back to the good times - prewedding festivities:
I sure do love the Boyd girls. Obviously they're beautiful, but I would say they're even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside.
