Dad's Notes:  Full of German heritage, from restaurants, old buildings and the 1800's era huge stone churches are very awe inspiring! Beer, food and music straight from Bavaria - you will want to be sure to allow yourself some window shopping time. Beside the German flair you will find modern art, fresh made salsas and of course the curious antiques tucked into the corners of all the little towns of the Texas hill country.
     In fact Fredericksburg, with over 100 places to stay, is an ideal place to stay a few days to give you time to hit all there is to do and see in the area. For a thorough listing of motels, hotels, cabins and Bed & Breakfast's available see their web site.
