Oktoberfest

Two weekends ago, we traveled to Fredericksburg, Texas for Oktoberfest with Allen and Michelle. We stayed at the Inn on Baron’s Creek, which is within walking distance to the festival – walking after drinking = good idea.

We had a blast. Lots of German style beer, yummy brats with sauerkraut, and the chicken dance. This makes for a very, very good time.

Things to do and see while in Fredericksburg:

-- Visit a winery or two. I recommend Grape Creek… delicious.

-- Stroll down Main Street. Super cute shops and plenty of places to eat and drink like The Brewery.

-- Delight yourself in a German style bakery for breakfast. There is one just down from the Fredericksburg Winery on Main Street, but I can’t remember the name… oh. my. goodness… it’s sinfully good.

-- Make the trip to the Hill Top Café. It’s in a random place outside of town, but the pie is worth the drive.

-- Drink a beer in Luckenbach. Only 10 minutes from Fredericksburg, this town is like stepping back into the Wild West. The general store, the post office, and saloon are all in the same building. At least they have their priorities. Don’t forget to bring cash.

-- Try to make it to Oktoberfest in October. You have to book your rooms early in order to stay within walking distance, but the festival is so much fun. If you like crafts, music, good food, and plenty of beer, this is the place for you.
