David got the final okay from his doctor and we hit the road the next day. Since we didn't go to Phoenix, we decided to make a trip to the Hill Country of Texas and wait for the wildflowers. We arrived in Fredericksburg and were very excited to see sun and be able to sit outside and enjoy it. It has been way to long.
After settling in at the RV park, we headed to Charlie's Grill to have one of the best hamburgers around. They have a jalapeño bun that is indescribably delicious. Yum. Yum. Next day we headed to Enchanted Rock. Well, it wasn't until we saw the flashing lights indicating it was full and closed to new arrivals, that we remembered it was spring break. Oh well, an adventure for another day.
Since we have all been walking, cutting back on what we eat and snacking less, we decided to treat ourselves to pie at the Fredericksburg Pie Company. We each had a favorite, Chocolate Cream, Coconut Cream (each with mile high meringue), Chocolate Pecan and Key Lime served on vintage china. Great pie and great fun.
We can now say we have "been there, seen that" to Luckenbach, Texas. Glad we went but were quite out of place with all the bikers. As the song says; "Out in Luckenbach, Texas, ain't nobody feelin' no pain" would probably have been true for later that day. We took a drive along the Willow City Loop to check out the wildflowers. We knew it was to early for them to be blooming but we wanted to check out there progress. David and Beverly weren't sure what the plants looked like, so we stopped along the way to show them. While looking, Beverly found an early bloom which we are calling the 1st Bluebonnet of the season. Looks like it will be another week or two before they will really be out.
Larry and David went to the National Museum of the Pacific War/Nimitz Museum to finish the tour they started on our visit 2 years ago. Both of their fathers had seved during WWII, so they were especially interested in various aspects of the war. Beverly and I used that time to visit the shops on Main Street. 
Sometimes you don't even have to leave the park for entertainment. Martin the "cat man", as Larry calls him, "walks" his cats in a stroller.
Neighbors to the park are these goats who "greet" you if you get to close to their young. 
The airport is just down the road and we have seen several vintage aircraft fly over. Recently we heard what we thought would be a larger plane but when we looked up this is what we saw. This group of vintage aircraft flew in various formations for quite a while. It's almost time to leave here.
We've had a great time but look forward to our next adventure on down the road.
