La Grange
This week is Spring Break, and to start it off, we spent the weekend in Kerrville, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Now, I have fond memories of attending church camp there as a teenager, and the scenery is truly beautiful. But (heaven help me for saying this about a city in Texas) that is about it, y’all. The nicest thing about Kerrville is that it boasts three Dairy Queens, all on the same main road. One was next to our hotel, so that should tell you something. The city is known for its Folk Festival, and I hope to attend someday. If I do, I’ll stay up the road in Fredericksburg, which is much more charming.
But the weekend before, our family took a day trip to La Grange and had a wonderful time! So instead of reliving the Kerrville experience, I’ll share pictures from La Grange, instead, which is located between Austin and Houston. We visited on a Sunday morning, so most of the major tourist attractions were closed, but we will definitely go back again this spring.
(We started the trip off right, with lunch at the Dairy Queen. “BOGO” is also an inside joke between James and Rhys that Ryan and I don’t quite get.)
(The Fayette County Courthouse.)
(Walking with Rhys. I think this looks like a picture in a catalog.)
(The site of the Kreische Brewery. The owner died in a work-related accident. Not a bad way to go for a brewer.)
(A historic house that caught my eye in La Grange.)
(James trying to figure out what that green thing was.)
La Grange is a wonderful day trip destination, but I’d stay away from Kerrville. Just sayin’.
Everything looks so lush and bright! And that courthouse is really beautiful. I miss seeing pretty old buildings.
Spring is definitely here early, and I love old buildings, too. 🙂
guess what?! i was born in LaGrange! my daddy spent many a dollar at that very Dairy Queen. 🙂
Such a small world, again! It’s such a sweet town.
