Oktoberfest Oct. 4


Fredericksburg, TX is a town about an hour or so outside of San Antonio that has German roots. I visited it when we were here in 2002 as part of a tour that went there and to the LBJ ranch (not too far away). Locally, they're known for their Oktoberfest celebration. Our friend Keith drove us up there so we could sightsee. We went through typical Hill Country -- lots of ranches, scrub, and hills. But Oktoberfest was pretty fun; it would have been better if I was a beer drinker, I'm sure. We heard a lot of polka, ate German fair food, and didn't get too sunburned.

Here are Katie, Dave, and Keith in front of their giant stein at the entrance.

Sounds like you guys are having a great time in Texas! It's neat that Sara and Katie get to take in all the neast sights near and (kinda) far. How great that Katie has met some frieds. Have you enrolled in any toddler play groups like you planned to do?
