Weekend in Fredericksburg

So this was the last weekend Kris & I will have off for a while so we decided to go to Fredericksburg Tx. We visited the National Museum of the Pacific War and it was amazing, i got emotional in parts of it but i still loved it.  We stayed a the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites cause it was cheap (100 bucks with tax) and only a block away from main street. The room wasn't anything to write home about, it was a glorified motel but it was pretty cute and clean so that's all that mattered.  It was freezing cold, the fountain at the hotel was still half frozen (temps at night were about 8 degrees, yes you read that right eight degrees!) and the day was chilly but nice at right around 48 degrees. we walked down main street and krist tried the local texas wine and i got to have a sip and spit it out lol.  I thought eating was going to be a big deal, but i was able to actually make good food choices. our first meal was at a local landmark Subway LOL everything was closed for the between lunch/dinner time so I had a mini sub with turkey lettuce tomatoe, onion cucumber and black olives and avacado i just threw the bread away and it was delish!  then we had dinner at this place called the Buffalo Nickle, i had a cobb salad that didn't have any avacado but it was still yummy. i took most of it back to the room but we ended up throwing it out cause i knew i wouldn't eat it.  sunday morning we had the continental breakfast at the hotel, so i ate a little bit of sausage and egg.  we went back to the museum to finish looking around and then to the battle museum about 2 blocks away. after that we ate at Ratheskellar Cellar Restaraunt, it was so good! i had the Chateau salad and again brought almost all of it home but it was so yummy. Kris had the home made chili and i had a little taste that was yummy as well.  It was a wonderful little weekend getaway, i'm glad we had the chance to go and we plan on going back sometime later this year for the battle reinactment they put on 7 weekends a year.  Here are some pictures, enjoy
