Day 20, 21, & 22 Fredericksburg --- A German Village with American History

The Caravan has arrived at Fredericksburg after a short drive from Austin. This is a nice little town that is growing fast. It is a refreshing stop after so many big city venues. Vineyards seem to be springing up everywhere. Our tour here includes the Nation Museum of the Pacific, LBJ’s ranch, local German food, a bourbon distillery and Luckenbach, TX.  Everyone seems to be relaxing and enjoying the old town areas in this village settled by German immigrants while Texas was still a republic. It's nice laid-back country atmosphere was enjoyed by all our folks.


One of the locals near LBJ's ranch was eager to greet us. 
Tex is the President and Stu is Richard Nixon, at the LBJ ranch. 

The Texas White House. LBJ spent 1/4 of his presidency here.   

Preparing for a great German schnitzel lunch. 

After a huge lunch, our group pays raft attention to the guide at the bourbon distillery. 

Relaxing on the grounds of the Garrison Distillery. 

More relaxing in the shade. 

Do you think they are serious?  

Notice the population of Luckenbach.  This is the exciting and dynamic entertainment.

Our crack staff hard at work.

The Wildseed Farm was a popular attraction on our "day off."

Who can visit Fredericksburg without having pie?  Peach or  pecan?
