Strawberry Pick'n

Today was a FABULOUS day! We went out to Fredricksburg to go pick strawberries. My friend Rhonda had gone a couple weeks ago and I got inspired to take a trip out there as well. It seriously was the most fun we have ever had as just our little family of 3. We left our house as soon as Hannah woke up. She did pretty good on the drive up there. We were super excited to get there and start the strawberry picking process. Hannah had the perfect outfit for the occasion. I found the cutest strawberry tutu and a shirt that has strawberries on it that says "pick me" and she even had a strawberry purse!

As soon as we got to the orchard Hannah took off running! She loved being outside with no restrictions.



Once we "wrangled" her in, we guided her to the strawberries. She wanted to pick (or squeeze) them all ha!





I think she ate a pound just by herself! She loved them.



We picked about 2 pounds of strawberries. They are super red and sweet but a bit on the small side.



After the orchard we headed into town to shop and eat! I am LOVING all of the cute little shops in Fredricksburg! I'm a big fan of cute little boutiques and that's all there is there. The food is pretty amazing too. We stopped at a bakery called Rather Sweet and bought a few goodies. Here are some pics of  some of the delicious goodies in the bake shop...





Here is what we got: Double Berry Bar, Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookie and a Praline Cheesecake


For lunch we went to a place called Hondo's. My friend Annie told me about this place and said I had to try the "Donut Burger". Its this AMAZING hamburger that has a slight sweetness to it that is absolutely DELISH. Bri and I both got burgers and Han got a hot dog and sweet potato fries. We also got these fried jalapenos that were like FIRE! They were a little too hot for my taste.


We had such a great time and this is definitely the start of a new tradition ;)
