Jimmy had a class in Houston for work so we decided to make a trip of it! We wanted to visit with Jimmy’s Texas family and for them to meet Charlie Banks. They were sweet enough to take me to MD Anderson so I could have a quick visit with Stephen and Karen. Stephen is being treated there and I was happy that they could meet Charlie Banks as well. Unfortunately, Charlie Banks wasn’t on his best behavior at the hospital so I don’t have any pictures!
After a night in Houston, we loaded up and drove to Jimmy’s Aunt Nancy’s ranch in Fredericksburg. It is so beautiful and we had such a great time. Our friends Chatham and Caroline drove and met us there and it was nice to spend some time with them. We visited a few wineries, shopped in town, had some famous Cooper’s BBQ, and relaxed around the ranch.
We had a delicious dinner at the HIll Top Café one night!
And it’s just not spring in Texas without bluebonnet pictures!
After three quick nights in Fredericksburg, we headed to Austin for a night. We had fun walking around! We enjoyed some Amy’s Ice Cream and mexican at Matt’s El Rancho.
We enjoyed breakfast at Magnolia Café before hitting the road back to Houston. We stopped in Lockhart which is supposedly the bbq capital of TX on the way back to Houston and had some delicious Texas bbq at Black’s. It was so much better than Cooper’s in my opinion. We had a fun and delicious dinner at Tony Mandola’s with all of Jimmy’s family that night. Lots of food…I guess that’s what a good vacation is all about.
And there you have it…Charlie Banks’ first vaca! I was worried about plane travel, but my experience is that plane travel with a baby is SO MUCH EASIER than car travel!
We had a great time and can’t wait to go back!
