This was an old Catholic church that we thought was really pretty...
We stopped and ate at a German restaraunt and had the BEST sausage I have ever had. The sausage was called Käsewurst. It was a spicy beef and pork sausage with cheese in it. MMMM.... it was absolutely delicious! I'm not sure if that is a common thing that you can get other places. If you ever see it somewhere, try it! We stopped at HEB and found some sausage that looked pretty similar so we're going to try it sometime.
Our very last stop in Fredericksburg was at a winery. Matt and I don't care for wine, but my dad asked us to stop and get some that he liked. He said you could only get it there so we were going to get him some. I walked in and told the people what I was looking for, but couldn't remember one of the words in the name. They weren't sure what I was talking about so they asked if it was a red or white wine. I had no idea so I told them I wasn't sure and they sighed, rolled their eyes and LAUGHED AT ME! Not in a "haha, that is funny" way.... in a "what an idiot" way. It was obviously rude and it didn't make me very happy! I kept my cool and told them that I was getting it for my parents and that I didn't know anything about it. I told them I would step outside and call to find out the full name of the wine. As I turned around to go outside the woman said hatefully, "Well you're not 21." I just kind of looked at her and she said, "Well, are you?!" I calmly looked back at her and said, "Yes.... I am." Then she said, "Well bring your ID because I'm going to card you." I just kind of laughed and said OK. As SOON as I turned my back to walk out the door she huffed and said, "She is NOT 21...." OOOOO I was not happy! Matt was across the store and I waved him over and walked out the door. I was good to keep my cool inside but I unloaded on Matt! I calmed down some and called my dad to get the name of the wine. I went back inside the store and told them the name and the woman said, "Well you're in the wrong place, they didn't get that here." I explained that my dad described that very winery and said that is where they got it and she continued to argue with me. They said, "Well there are a lot of wines that say Fredericksburg, TX on it..." I. Was. So. Frustrated. So then I said, "LISTEN HERE.... I don't care for wine, and I don't care for your attitude! So if you want my business, stop acting like an *#@%&!!!!"
....OK I didn't actually say that OUT LOUD, but I sure thought it! :) They ended up telling us that we could find that wine down the street or at HEB. We tried to find the place down the street and couldn't, and we looked at HEB and they didn't have it. Needless to say, I was NOT pleased with the service there! It took me quite a while to cool off after leaving there!
What DID help me to cool off was some homemade peach ice cream we bought at a roadside stand right outside of downtown Fredericksburg! Mmmm.... it was delicious! We also bought some Peach Pecan Amaretto Syrup there. It says you can use it for grilling, on ice cream, mixed with cream cheese for a dip, pancakes, waffles, fruit salad, cottage cheese, etc. I'm looking forward to trying it out!
On our way back we stopped in Luckenbach, Texas! Matt had never been before. I certainly didn't build it up so as to not give him high expectations but he was still disappointed. :) Haha! He thought it was neat, but just that there wasn't much to it! It wasn't as neat this time as it was last time I went. Last time I was there it was pretty empty and seemed a little more "historic". Today it was a bar. Lots of drunk people, a lousy country band and a crowded bar. Nevertheless we both got our "Everybody's Somebody in Luckenbach" shirts to show we've been there.
To finish off the day we stopped by the snow cone stand in Cedar Park before we headed home. We have been saying all summer that we wanted to go and just never got around to it. So we enjoyed our snow cones then headed home! We are both pretty worn out now but we had a fun day!
