March 23 - Our day trip today took us north into the hill country. Our first stop was the Lyndon B. Johnson ranch which the Johnsons donated to the National Park Service and continues to be a working ranch. We visited his boyhood home and the home he lived and raised his family in known as the Texas White House. Next stop was Fredricksburg, a charming German town with a unique historical main street filled with many interesting shops. We enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Fredricksburg Brewing Company. A successful shopping trip...Rick and Nancy are the proud owners of Stetson cowboy hats. The purpose of our trip to the hill country was to visit Luckenbach. As you can see by the pictures it was a total surprise. Famous for its "everybody's somebody" attitude and frequent entertainment, it was not what we had been looking forward to. It consists of a dance hall, feed lot, general store that is also the saloon. We stayed for an hour listening to entertainment provided by a "Pickers Circle" where local musicians just show up to sing and play. We can now say we have been to Luckenbach Texas. http://www.blogger.com/www.luckenbachtexas.com
