Susan & Courtney: Girls Trip to Austin & Fredricksburg

Last weekend I went with Rachel and Rene' to Austin for the weekend. On Saturday we went on a wine trail near Fredricksburg and had a wonderful time. (If you like Cabernet Sauvignon - try the reserve from Becker Vineyards!) At Becker we met a funny French man who had his eye on Rachel and stomped some grapes - Lucy style! Then we headed down the road to Torre di Pietra where we sat outside with a glass of Red Flirt and listened to the band. By the time we made it to Fredricksburg, most of the shops were closed but we did manage to stop in at one my favorite German restaurants - Altdorf's - so that I could get my Opa sausage fix. After all of that you'd think we were tired right? Well, Rachel was coming down with a cold but Rene' and I headed out to 6th street in Austin to hang out with my cousin Glenn and people watch. On Sunday we hung out in Austin - ate at the Magnolia Cafe on S. Congress and then browsed around the vintage shops and then explored the Austin botanical gardens as well. It was a great weekend and we had so much fun!
