B: Just East of Fredericksburg, Texas lies the conservatory of Wild Seed Farms. This farm the combination of a flower nursery, winery, and ecological safe haven to beautifully blooming wildflowers and plant varieties native to the state of Texas.

Fredericksburg Vineyards
K: If you are from Texas, you have probably heard of the wine country that is Fredericksburg. This charming city offers adorable bed and breakfast hotels, fabulous shopping, and true Texas wine from vineyards located just outside of the town. Brandon and I took a day trip from San Antonio and spent some time sampling the local wine flavors of Grape Creek Vineyard. B: Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to wine.

An Afternoon in Port Aransas

Beach Bag Essentials for Two
K: Although our time at the beach was short lived (and entailed a day of gloomy weather), Brandon and I were still excited to pack up a few beach essentials to make the trip enjoyable for the two of us.

Oftentimes, as females, we focus on our own needs within a bag, leaving our ... View the Post
Misty Morning Beach Walk
K: Brandon and I are the epitome of early risers. Our weekend at Port Aransas beach was no exception and we were on the beach before 8 AM. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side during our stay, with perpetual gray skies and misty mornings. Nevertheless, we made the most of our time together and insisted on daily beach walks and trips to town. B: Tara absolutely loves the beach. Her addiction to chasing tennis balls coupled with the soft, cool, sandy beachscape, makes this the ... View the Post
