Let’s go to Fredericksburg today!

Stephanie is our chauffeur!
But first, let’s stop at the James Avery headquarters!  We love James Avery jewelry.
The campus is very pretty. 
The walkway between buildings.
This nice lady has been working at James Avery Craftsman, Inc. for thirteen years.
This gentleman has been working here for thirty years and is now the “boss” in this area of the floor.
While everyone was getting in the car, I was taking a picture of the entrance gate with the logo when a nice man named Greg Michner (or something like that) walked up and offered to take my picture.
On to our destination:  Fredericksburg.
I’m disappointed that I did not get a picture of the purple sage bushes when they were covered in purple blooms a few weeks ago.  I didn’t realize that they only bloom like that for just a few days.
We’ve decided on a dining spot and are walking there.
We chose:
Now we’re checking out the menu.
There’s an outdoor dining area, but we chose the A/C.
Taylor, waiting for his lunch.
Taylor didn’t like this picture because his mom’s hat was covering part of his face.
He liked this picture much better!
We all chose something that contained an Opa’s sausage, except Stephanie… she had a Reuben sandwich.
After enjoying our lunch, we started out walking the shops on the main street.  This is the city library.
Logan found a hat for his ‘gangsta’ pose.  I couldn’t talk him into modeling the bling-bling flip flops. 
The Christmas Store was overwhelming.
While the boys looked around in the Fun Zone shop, Don and I sat on a bench and waited.  The Nimitz Museum across the street is something that Don wants to see while we are here in the Hill Country.
While sitting on the bench, we saw the skinniest person I have ever seen in person.
Red Bird of Paradise.  It’s so dry here that there are not very many flowers to be photographed.
This afternoon, Logan played in the pool and Don and I rested in the air conditioned Q.  It’s soooo hot.
