Father's Day Weekend: Sunday


On Father's Day I took Jimmy to Fogo De Chao. He has been wanting to eat there for about 2 years now and I had my reservations about it. But for Father's Day I sucked it up and took him. And I am so glad I did! It was fabulous! The food was fantastic, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was beautiful! Jimmy was SO excited when he found out where we were going! And that made me even more excited for him. Our lunch was so good and we had a great time trying out a new place and I enjoyed getting to spend time with my hubby and son.

See how excited he was... hahaaCheese biscuits, heaven in a basketThe salad bar...
The food...One of the meat servers...A happy full Daddy...Mac has a handful of my hair. Jimmy telling Mac thank you for lunch!Waiting on the valet to bring the truck, downtown Austin.
I think Jimmy had a great First Father's Day. I know I enjoyed treating him to a couple of days that were about him! He is such a great Dad and definitely deserved to have this weekend be about him.

Father's Day Weekend: Saturday

WARNING: This post contains tons of pictures...

I wanted to make Jimmy's first Father's Day just as specical as he made my first Mother's Day. Saturday I took him to Fredericksburg, Texas to one of our favorite winerys, Grape Creek Vineyard. They were being featured on the 290 Wine Trail and were having pulled pork sliders paired with their Grand Rouge. However, we ended up leaving the house late since Mac was not feeling well. We got there around 2pm and Willie's BBQ had already left because they had run out of food! But we still did the wine tasting and bought a couple of bottles of their Cabernet Trois, our favorite.

Of course by then we were hungry and since we missed the pork sliders the ONLY option left was to go into Fredericksburg and eat at our favorite restaurant, The Brewery. It was fantastic as usual. When we left we walked down the block and just enjoyed being in Fredericksburg. I am not kidding we would move there this second if possible.

We got back to the truck and headed to Torre di Pietra, another one of our favorites. We bought a glass of the Classico and sat outside on the patio and listened to the live band. We left just after 6pm and headed back to Austin. It was so much fun and I am so glad we got to go.

The roadtrip scenery...Grape Creek VineyardLunch at The Fredericksburg Brewery We thought it was funny that they have a Texas flag (Me) and an Arkansas flag (Jimmy) hanging next to each other and that we had never noticed it before...And Torre Di PietraOn the way back to Austin we saw a really cool Chevy truck and a Pontiac. I think the Luckenbach car show was this weekend.We had a lot of fun and I was so happy that I got to take Jimmy on a small roadtrip for part of his Father's Day weekend. We both love Fredericksburg so it was more for both of us but he had fun too ;)
