Another Great Weekend

Will the fun never stop? This was another banner weekend for the White's. Friday got it started with a dance at the Brenham Sons of Herman Hall. Sally and I realized we had crossed over to the "older side" of life because of this night. You see, the Sons of Herman are pretty much a bunch of OLD German guys and girls. Since they are old, they start the dance at 5:00, dance two hours, eat BBQ and then dance till 9:00. The sad part of this is, Sally and I thought it was about the most fun we have had with all our clothes in quite a while. What does that say about us?

When we got home (at 9:15), Katie and Moose were waiting. I stayed up all the way to 10:30 just to visit with them. Saturday was such a lovely day that Sally suggested a day trip. So, we all loaded up and headed out. First, we stopped at Festival Hill in Round Top. Very lovely. I highly recommend this place for some excellent photog opportunities. Note picture of Sally taking picture of Katie and Moose.

After this we were off to the Kriesche Brewery and Monument Hill State Park in La Grange. This was A MOST ENJOYABLE trip. I do not have the time or the typing skills to quickly detail all that was of note, but suffice to say-GO!!!! Beautiful scenery, Texas history, architecture, photog opps, German ingenuity, Texas Heroes. I could go on and on. Instead, I will just post a few pics:

Above is the house that Mr. Kriesche built with his own two hands

The girl that planned this fabulous day and who can still make my heart beat fast!

You would think that there was no way to improve a day like this. However, you would be wrong. We got to buy some kolaches in La Grange, visit the painted church at High Hill and stop by and see Sally's sister's place in Schulenberg. Then, it was off to the Swiss Alp Dance Hall for Jaeger Schnitzel. Sally finished her perfect day by cleaning the kids clock at Tripoli. It just doesn't get better than that!
