So... We did it! We planned a weekend to getaway! My parents watched the boys (since their Daddy was in Mexico building a house) and I think they may have even checked in on David (Jess' hubby) a time or two, just to make sure he was eating while Jess was gone. ;) With our menfolk taken care of, we took off for the weekend!
You are about to see proof of our first annual Sisters Getaway Weekend! We decided our first trip would be to Fredericksburg, TX.
First stop, Hard Eight BBQ in Brady TX.
Oh, yes! We decided the best way to kick off our "girls" weekend was with some
yummy BBQ!
Jess, showing us how it's done! :)
During our time away (which ended up being two days and a night) we visited LOTS of little shops in Fredericksburg. There was plenty to see. We went to western stores, furniture stores, toy stores, jewelry stores, chocolate specialty shops (where we may have bought some chocolate for our husbands), antique shops, soda shops, ice cream shops... I think you get the point.
We stopped for ice cream and drinks and had a conversation over our drinks that I think needs to be shared...
Me, "Is your root beer good? You haven't drank much of it."
Jess, "Yeah... It's okay. It has a weird taste to it though..."
Me, "Hmm... that's weird. My cream soda is gooood."
A few minutes go by
Me, "So, is your drink not good?"
Jess, "It just has a weird after taste. It almost tastes like... diet."
Me, "Um.. Jess... it is diet." (pointing at the word "diet" on her bottle)
Jess, ".... Dang it!"
Both in unison, "Bahahahahahaha!"
We've had quite a few laughs about this one!
Can I just say, Cinnamon Honey Butter is to die for! You should get some one day, seriously. Just don't buy it and then forget about it, leaving it behind in the bathroom. I'm not saying a certain pregnant woman who suffers from pregnancy brain syndrome did in fact do this, I'm just saying. In case you were wondering... It would be a good idea not to forget about the butter!
Among our findings over the weekend, I found these antique tin canisters. I got the whole set for $25! You can ask Jess, I was so excited about these!
In this picture we were looking at these hanging lamps made out of record albums. We thought they were really neat but not worth the $$$ for them. But I have to say, it made for a cute picture!
Mexican food!
If you haven't noticed, our weekend was full of good food! This pretzel/pastry was sooo good!
Because of our mutual love for food, we decided one of these Getaway Weekends we will be visiting one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants. We do realize we will have to save up quite a bit of extra cash to support such a trip but we also really want to try his risotto! Oh... And we will be taking our husbands on that trip. For 2 reasons:
1. They would KILL us if we went and ate Chef Ramsay's food without them!
2. Chef Ramsay scares us. Seriously. We would want our husbands there purely for the sake of protection!
Our "sister" rings we got :)
Kit,
I had so much fun with you baby sis! Thanks for wanting to spend a whole weekend with your big ("big" meaning older not just because I'm very pregnant) sister. I love and cherish you.
