Shop Till You Drop!

Girl's Weekend
Fredericksburg, Texas

Six sister's-in-Christ + roadtrip = an awesome weekend!!

......shopping, walking, laughing,
eating, more walking, talking,
more laughing, buying, more eating......

PURE BLISS

Friday night we arrived at the
RIVER ROAD RANCH RESORT




The River Road Ranch Resort in Fredericksburg invites guests to step back in history. The original ranch structure was built by German settlers in the 1890s and the new structures were all constructed to replicate buildings from the past, including a General Store, a Feed Mill, 
a Silo, and a Bunkhouse.

Proprietors Bill and Natalie Bowman have lovingly combined their vision, artistry, and energy to create a tranquil and historic setting on their riverfront ranch. They take great pride in providing their guests with a unique combination of luxury and history in a pastoral setting. It is their desire that all who stay at the ranch will relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings in harmony with nature. Their philosophy is "Come as strangers, leave as friends."
 






 Weary from a long road trip
we were ready to settle into our 
"Home away From Home"
Minna's Haus

 Minna's oozes country charm







Saturday morning, after coffee
on the porch, we headed to town
for SHOPPING!!

Fredericksburg is such a charming town
 



and that charm draws a multitude 
of people every weekend!!


After shopping all morning we 
worked up an appetite

 We needed refueling!!


It felt great to sit down and share a meal
 
I felt like someone was watching us as we dined!!

 OH DEER

After lunch - MORE SHOPPING 


 





with occasional stops to rest our feet




 By Saturday evening we were
ready to drop!!

We headed back to Minna's Haus
for some R&R
(with a good dose of fellowship 
and laughter in the mix) 

Sunday morning after coffee
we made a B-line next door to the 
General Store 

The couple that runs the ranch 
opened it just for us!!






This general store is filled to the brim
with vintage items, and plain ole good junk!


I've begun to collect old scales
and the general store had one 
I couldn't live without!


When I realized it was made in England
I knew it had to come home with me

It's new home - my kitchen shelf!!

 After the general store, 
we took a tour of the Silo

Proprietors, Bill and Natalie Bowman
have turned an old
grain silo into an adorable 
accommodation for guests







It's also filled with lots of country charm





Finally it was time to wrap up
our "Girl's Trip" and head home

With a reluctant farewell we said goodbye 

 Every Little Birdie says
 Friends make life
a lot more fun!!
