Girls Weekend - Fredericksburg
The weekend of December 11-13th I went on a Girls' Weekend with some friends to Fredericksburg, TX. It's about an hour and a half north of San Antonio. It's a quaint, sweet little town and their downtown decorated for Christmas reminds me of Bedford Falls from the movie It's a Wonderful Life. We reserved a cabin about 10 minutes outside of downtown on this beautiful ranch. It was so relaxing there. Each morning I woke up to the sound of cows mooing! It was great! I even named one of the cows, Bessie. She kept mooing at me! There were deer walking around nearby and it was so quiet. I don't get much of quiet anymore nowadays, so I treasured it.
We arrived on a Friday night and went downtown for dinner and then got settled in the beautiful cabin. It was so neat to pull up to the cabin and see it decorated for Christmas. There was a gorgeous Christmas tree inside and out, and the place was stocked with everything you would need to make yourself at home. The people that own the cabin, served us breakfast each morning. We had delicious muffins for Saturday morning, and a breakfast casserole for Sunday. They were sooo yummy! On Saturday we went shopping along Main Street and came back to the cabin and made chicken enchiladas for dinner. We had so much food! There was a fire pit outside and we toasted marshmallows, made s'mores and looked at the stars. I even saw two shooting stars! I really felt myself slowly relaxing the muscles in my shoulders and taking slow, deep breaths. My favorite part was on Sunday morning after I was up, showered and packed, I sat outside on the wraparound porch with a cup of coffee, breakfast and a blanket and rocked on the rocking chair watching the deer. It was awesome.
I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the girls and we plan on making this an annual event! I am so thankful for the wonderful friends that I have and the special times we spend together. It means the world to me! Thanks Lindsey, Rosie, Nena and Nellie for an amazing weekend! You are awesome women!
