We hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend! We got to have lunch with Dash's dad and dinner with mine, so it was a great day. I planned a Father's Day weekend for Dash and we had an amazing time! A couple of weeks ago, we had a garage sale with some of our friends (hi Claire and Teresa!). We were pleasantly surprised by the money we made but more excited about what we were able to get rid of! You know what got the most offers?....
... this little man. But he is priceless.
So we took our garage sale money and headed for a weekend in the hill country. We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Austin. Cooked to order breakfast - score! Two separate rooms with a baby - jackpot! Saturday morning we drove to Fredericksburg and stopped in at Marburger Orchards. The peach crop was ruined this year from a late freeze, but the blackberries were at the peak of their season.
Poor peach trees!
I can't wait to make something with our blackberries - maybe cobbler or pie? Or smoothies?
We then went to Main Street in Fredericksburg, shopped and ate lunch. Somehow we escaped with only fudge as our purchase, despite being tempted by a $130 sock monkey for Mason (seriously?). Driving back to Austin, we drove through (if you can call it that) Luckenbach. Our last stop was Grape Creek Vineyards. We sampled their wines and tag teamed a crying baby.
Back in Austin for the night, we took Tommy and Ruth's recommendation and tried out Moonshine Bar and Grill. It was mouth-watering good! We had 'corn dog' shrimp, chicken almondine and rainbow trout with cornbread stuffing. Homesick yet, Ruth? We even saw our friends from church, Erica, Colin and little Nate, there! Small world! After taking turns again with a fussy baby (his shots from Friday were still catching up with him), we made it back to our hotel and finished the weekend with a pay per view movie. It was a great, memorable weekend and we want to go back soon! Next time, we want to stay longer... and maybe bring a babysitter!
Hope you had a great Father's Day Dash!

Sounds like a perfect weekend! So glad that you all liked Moonshine -- sometime we'll all have to go together (without the kids :-)). Have a great day!
