Fredericksburg + Friends = FUN!

This past weekend, amidst the excitement of Miles' birth, Jordan and I headed down to Fredericksburg with our good friends Darin, Kami, Bobby and Kristen. The occassion for this top-10 weekend getaway was the boys' pledge brutha and friend, Derek's marriage to his sweet fiance, Sharman.

I honestly cannot recall a time that I have laughed so much. I guess it's a sign that we have all been pretty stressed, burned out at work, exhausted, etc...you name it, because as soon as we all arrived, we were geared up for a fun, laid back weekend escape.

Kami booked an uber-cool cabin for the 6 of us. It was on this ranch, basically out in the middle of nowhere (but a convenient 10 minute drive from town). Literally within 5 minutes of arriving, we had made ourselves at home, donned our comfy sweats and were on our way to enjoying ourselves. The TV did not even get turned on the entire time we were there. With boys and college football season, that's pretty impressive. Can you say Sports Center withdrawl?

After staying up waaay too late Friday night, we all groggily awoke Saturday for one of the most gorgeous fall days, to be spent in the Texas Hill Country. The boys headed straight into town to find a Biergarten to watch the TX-OU game. As for the ladies, we had shopping on the brain. I'm pretty sure everyone was a happy camper given the day's itinerary :).







Saturday night was the wedding. It took place at the bride's uncle's ranch, which sits atop an amazing mountain'ish ridge. I kid you not, it was absolutely perfect! The weather was zero humidity and in the mid 70's, the views spectacular, the decor perfectly ranch chic, the food deelish (they had a mac n' cheese bar), and the band was rockin'. Not a single detail was overlooked.

We all had the best time! We even convinced our boys to strut their stuff out on the dance floor, which, if you even slightly know Jordan, Darin or Bobby, this was a HUGE fete! A big shout out to Mike Marshall for getting the dance party started and showing the boys that the dance floor didn't bite :). The wives totally owe and thank you!







What is better than a weekend getaway that includes some of your closest friends, a beautiful country setting, fantastic shopping (read: window shopping) and so many laughing fits that you're left with sore abs?

I can't wait for the next trip!
