Hello, fellow adventure seekers! San Antonio‘s got its charms, but sometimes you gotta bust out the Alamo bubble and let the wind whip through your hair.
That’s where epic weekend road trips come in, baby! So buckle up, ’cause I’m spilling the beans on three Texas getaways that’ll leave you begging for more.
Hill Country Bliss - Fredericksburg & Beyond (1.5 - 2 Hours)
Picture rolling hills draped in wildflowers, charming German towns, and wineries so good they’ll make you forget Napa exists. Fredericksburg’s your gateway to Hill Country heaven.
Start by wandering Hauptstrasse, where shops overflow with cowboy boots and pralines, then fuel up on epic schnitzel at the Auslander.
Next, hit Enchanted Rock State Natural Area for a hike that’ll reward you with panoramic views (and maybe a glimpse of the resident bat colony!).
Bonus points for squeezing in a wine-tasting tour – cheers to that!
