2022 Travels #3 - Fredricksburg, Texas

-

Fredricksburg was definitely a place we wanted to visit again after spending time here last fall. This time we got to share it and spend time with our great friends Tom and Carol who were traveling from Alabama. We arrived a day early so we stayed at a Harvest Host which happens to be a Winery.


On Friday, Tom and Carol arrived late afternoon so we drove into town for dinner. We ate at a place called Burger Burger. I had the "Bad Mother Clucker" which was pretty good. The other's enjoyed their sandwich as well. 

The next day we started out at one of our favorite winery's from last year which was 290 Wine Castle. We enjoyed a couple glasses of wine and fire baked pizzas.




We walked around Fredricksburg checking out all the shops and ate dinner at Silver Creek Garden & Grill. They had German fare as well as this delicious dish, Pork Medallions glazed with mesquite and raspberry.


The next day we had lunch at Backwoods BBQ and then checked out some more wineries. First, we went to The Garage Winery. 



Howard Huge has some interesting history even though he's a little creepy. 😂

The outside...


and the inside of this winery was pretty cool. 






Next up was Fat Ass Winery 🤣












We enjoyed Messina Hof so much we took Tom and Carol to enjoy it too. We enjoyed the music of Ryan Desiato while drinking our wine, ate some fantastic truffles and Echo made some friends. 




Meet Oden, look how adorable he is and those paws! His owner told us that Oden's dad is 185 lbs. 😲


Oden is all puppy and had more energy than Echo.

Carlsbad Caverns, NM - 2024

Our next stop was Carlsbad Caverns. We arrived late Friday afternoon after stopping to check out Gaudalupe Mountains National Park.  We had reservations for a tour Saturday morning. On our drive out to the Cave we saw some barbary sheep. These are non-native originally from North Africa and first appeared in 1959. It is thought that the herd probably escaped from a private ranch in the Hondo Valley of New Mexico. We toured Carlsbad Caverns in the spring of 2021 and enjoyed it just as much the second time. There are so many different formations. The Natural Entrance The walkway down into the cavern. There are so many different formations. One thing we didn't get a chance to do in 2021 is watch the bats fly out of the cavern at dusk so we made sure to see it this time. The park has 17 different bat species however, the large colony of Brazilian free-tailed bats are what wow the visitors every evening from spring through fall with their outflights. The best way I found to get a still ...

From there we headed to Arizona and stayed 5 nights at Saguaro Skies, Luke AFB in Glendale. I was really happy to see my best friend and spend time with her. We had lunch at a newer restaurant called Stillery. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere.  From there we headed south and stayed at Boneyard Vista, Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson for a few nights. We had brunch with our friends Jeff and Louise and spent a few hours catching up with them. Our next stop was White Sands Missile Range Famcamp in White Sands NM.  A view of our RV and the San Andres Mountains We visited the museum which was really deep in history.
